It seems to me though that the advantage to using a uniform file extension other then .text is that applications like TextMate, BBedit, Subethaedit, emacs, and their windows/linux equivalents can then have specific grammers and modes to support syntax highlighting, auto-complete etc. Using something other then .text allows such an easy classification for developers. Further, giving markdown a specific file extension would allow, for example, Apple to declare it in their framework for previewing. Currently anything like .md or markd, etc does not preview in finder.
That being said, it seems to me that if a file extension was to be declared, it should be similar on all platforms, e.g., markdown text: .mdt (windows) .mdtx (unix?) What do you think?
