I agree that we
I plan to continue using .js for my modules. This distinction already exists
in Node and AMD code and I've seen no need to differentiate my files.

I understand that module code is implicitly in strict mode.
In an ES6 environment, what causes a .js file to be treated as a module?
Does that happen automatically to all files that export at least one thing?

A file that is imported is treated as a module. That's it.

It depends on how you access it: if you import the file or load it via
`module` then the file is interpreted as a module.

And you can statically infer that a file is module by reading the source
and scanning for `export`, which would also mean it's a module. This

This seems problematic because it means I can't assume that strict mode
will be inferred.

Can we say anything more concrete if we restrict the discussion to modern
browsers as opposed to non-browser ES engines? Is it fair to say that in
those environments a file will always be treated as a module if it is
imported by another file that the browser has loaded?

For all new standard tags, browsers that recognize these tags and browsers
that do not must agree on when the element is done.
This can't be completely true, as `main` and `template` were introduced
recently and definitely don't follow that

I agree that we should come to consensus on a file extension. The argument
that it is out of our jurisdiction only makes sense to me if it is in
some other group's jurisdiction. AFAICT, it is not. And consensus is
needed, so let's proceed.
Suggestions?
Is there any reason we should still limit
it is a module if:
a) it is imported using imperative form thru a loader (with we are still
working out the details)
b) it is imported using declarative form (ImportDeclaration)
c) future module tag, or script type=module (still to figure).
there is an exception for these rules. if you use a
