Ideally, no "? & = + -" symbols should be in URL at all. Many people complained about these "user unfriendly" URLs.
However, it is rare that people wants get rid of all extensions. In fact I only heard about this claim the second time today. There are some strange-behavior-people like to use php for .net pages, .aspx for java pages, .jsp for PHP pages. These are all technically possible and easy to do, especially with php or perl. But for normal people and hosting companies, I don't think they want mix these things up. I believe when I see .php in a site, I know it is a php site with 99% conidence. I have faith in normal people. John H.
