James,
I'm glad you said this and not me.
I was thinking just the same thing.
And... if this is so doesn't my simple rule for (admitedly)

if there is a slash after a dot then you can use the part after the
dot as a file extension.
Of course you would already have attempted matches on all the
directory paths in your engine.
