Please add the reference/link for why URLs in Cocoon should not
have an extension -   I know its required, but why is it "bad"?

By chance I came across another item [1] which seems to suggest that 
perhaps the problem is not exclusive to IE4.  Maybe IE5 and IE6 are 
involved too.

The article gets a few developers worked up after the beginning.  My 
reading of it seems to imply that mime-sniffing takes place if IE can't 
work out the mime-type from the url.  So if your url ends in .html you 
are ok, but if it ends in no extension (something which is considered 
good practice in Cocoon) it will sniff the file content and use that to 
decide what to do with the downloaded file.

It would be interesting to know if anyone else has come across this 
issue with IE7.
