More importantly, there are classes of users who genuinely need to know what file format is being used. For instance: - graphics professionals who need to deliver files in specific formats and often have the same file in multiple formats. - office workers who need to save their work in ODF or .sxw format, but sometimes have to send a copy as .doc to people who demand Word documents. While they can get this information elsewhere, it's useful to see it at a glance. For applications that have only one file format, or for files that are never saved in multiple file formats, it's not useful. The HIG allows for this "useful"ness.
