Bear in mind the original question was about .txt and .doc - I'm used
to file systems where file extensions are completely irrelevant (Unix)
so this whole discussion is somewhat pointless.

No, it's actually foolhardy to ass-u-me that there even is a file
extension. All of this talk of file extensions is so Windows-centric
(where file extensions still usually have 3 letters - .htm? What's
with that?).
