Some of how you answer this question has to do with how a user would
get to a desired file.  Are they searching or sorting or both?  If
sorting, can the sort be by file type?  

Basically, how does including information about a file's type help
the user find and choose a correct file?  If the file information is
ultimately not needed for locating desired files, it may be
acceptable to not call out the file type.  A high percentage of users
now have the ability to view both Word and PDF file types.
