On the web at least, most applications are supposed to ignore the extension and go by whatever the http headers say, so if you want to give your schema files a .ppt extension that's fine so long as they are served with the
right mime type specifying XML schema.
Using multiple chained extensions looks like it is going to be confusing in the end. no extension listed here for example has multiple dots:
No it would complicate the lookup for filename to mimetype mappings changelog-5.2.xml for example is that an xml version of changelog for release 5.2 of something or a 2.xml version of a changelog for version 5. Humans need to do this and also any system reading off the filesystem with no http header information. Rather than just looking up known extensions you would have to iterate back through the filename and take the longest known suffix. David
