iCalendar provides a "standard mechanism for doing non-standard things". This extension support allows implementers to make use of non-standard components, properties, and parameters whose names are prefixed with the text "X-".
Servers MUST support the use of non-standard components, properties, and parameters in calendar object resources stored via the PUT method.
Servers may need to enforce rules for their own "private" components, properties, or parameters, so servers MAY reject any attempt by the client to change those or use values for those outside of any restrictions the server may have. Servers SHOULD ensure that any "private" components, properties, or parameters it uses follow the convention of including a vendor id in the "X-" name, as described in Section 4.2 of [RFC2445], e.g., "X-ABC-PRIVATE".
