How does this help? We already have private parameter functionality
available in as interoperable fashion as possible. Private params at the
front as well make no sense to me when you can put them anywhere in the
URL with an x-param.
Secondly, say that you have your private parameter, which happens to have
the same name as a parameter we define for the next version. Then you
need to remap your private parameter to something else.
