I think the answer is NO.
I can't find on w3.org any html or xhtml files that could have the
extension .txt or jpg. And there are not so many ways to write it.
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.
It is NOT and it would not be executed on any server! Simply do NOT
work!
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.
