David,
I know, you are correct. 
I am not going to argue that frome a technical point of view, these urls can be handled by media aggreators. 
I want to debate now whether services like feedburner or any other that alters actual enclosure urls should follow some sort of standard or not.

What do you think?

I was concerned about letting feedburner alter my links, but in the end I agree with Andreas.  The file urls still end with the proper extensions.  There is simply a query string on the url as well.

I dont pretent to know whatever language it is your coding in, but in the languages I've used it's pretty easy to get the requested file name and extension from a url even if there are a bunch of query string variables at the end.    Is that an option?  Or, you could just check the extension after following any redirects.  (although ideally you would not consider query strings as part of the file name even for a 200 http response).

These are normal URLs and if the software was using HTTP
correctly (following redirects, breaking apart filename from query string
before checking for file extension) there would be no problems.
