Nic you are partly right in your summary.  First the example I gave
(similar to the above) was to point out the possibilities.  What I
really believe that makes sense with regard to EXTENSION aliases are:
-the last index of ".ext" is checked
-extra pathinfo WITHOUT "." is allowed.

The problem I have with all this (even my solution) is the inconsistency
in which extra pathinfo should/should not be process depending on
whether the alias is Extension or Path.  Perhaps to make it less
confusing to a developer we should only include extra pathinfo rules
that works under BOTH Extension and Path alias.
