I'm +1 on .spdx for tag:value SPDX files & .rdf for SPDX RDF files, that's what I thought it was, but when searching for it being documented wasn't finding it. :-/ Its an oversite that we haven't clarified this before now. I've opened https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1329 to make sure this gets tracked and fixed for 2.1 Kate
