|By Google. Exactly what their algorithm is for it is not known. The "X-"
 |prefix is the clue: it's an experimental or local-use header.

Note that the X- prefix is deprecated by RFC 6648 from 2012:

Deprecating the "X-" Prefix and Similar Constructs in Application Protocols

Yes, but that does not mean that one can expect to find a sound specification for what a random X-* header means and despite the deprecation you can actually be fairly sure that any X-* header has no reliable public spec.
