That is definitely what you claimed.  I claim that such a standard is
irrelevant.

Consider a Struts based web site that maps "*.html" to the Struts
action servlet (and there are more such sites on the public Internet
than you would possibly believe :-).  Your approach is going to come
to the mistaken conclusion that this is a static HTML based site
instead of a Struts based site.  Actually, my favorite sites are the
ones that map "*.asp" to the Struts servlet.  Gotta love people that
bend minds like that!

But the serious point is that, if you think you can conclude anything
based on the textual content of a URL, you are naively mistaken.  Only
the server you are calling knows for sure what technologies are used
to produce a particular response.
