Hi Marcos, All,
It seems more logical to me to not
treat it as an extension. Look at all the .whatever files on your

will .whatever.ext will identify a type (like

If any character in the extension is outside the U+0041-U+005A range

Unfortunately I disagree with that.

Hi Marcos,
To be clear: All we want to do is check if the file extension of a
file case-insensitively matches one of the extensions in the File
Identification Table. If you can't match it, then the MIME type gets
resolved with SNIFF.
Ok, I understand the intention of this section.
The ranges are
Hi Marcos,
I think we will drink some beer soon :)
I understand the rationale, but I don't see it as necessary. Lets just
cover what is in the spec. In version 2, if we need to support this
later, we can add it easily. It won't break backwards compat because
we will just be expanding the range.

I think file-extension would not be matched, but only base-name.
