I think the answer is NO.
I can't find on w3.org any html or xhtml files that could have the

The contents of the file are still the same -- it's an HTML file.
Even if I name it "foo.gzip", it's an HTML file. While programs won't
recognize it as a HTML file, it still contains HTML.
And I would help the user to do less mistakes!
If the user should grab an .xml file, why should he select an file
in .txt, .html, xhtml, .c, .bas, and so on..
It is an big difference if we talk about jpeg files there are not
hundreds of valid extensions.
Well, let's consider the REALbasic project format. Save a project in
REALbasic, close it, remove the extension. Now, try to open it back
up. It will work. Why? Because it has a MacType. That's the reason to
support MacTypes -- they'll work even when some user removes the
extension.
HTH,
