I think this is really good idea. I support filename extensions that
are descriptive of the purpose, not necessarily the format. After all,
Debian packages are .deb, not .ar even if they *are* .ar archives, and
Java packages, OpenOffice.org documents are .jar and .od* even if they
both are just .zip archives, and configuration files are .conf, not
.txt, etc.
