There are good reasons for using file extensions when serving non-HTML
resources (prevents people from ending up with extension-less files
after doing a save-as, a big source of confusion, based on my
observations).
My guideline would be this. If the RDF files describes itself, like an
ontology, never use the extension because then you can, in the future,
to use other representation. But if the RDF file is used to describe
another resource, such as used after a 303 redirect, extension should be
O.K because now the URI is a file anyway.
