I completely agree that for something like this which is widely 
implemented, the spec should describe what actually works.  But I was 
wondering if you could narrow down the range of what you describe so 
future implementors don't waste time worrying about screwups that aren't 
an issue in practice.

I'm sorry to hear that people are using filename extensions to tell what's 
in a file.  I'd hoped that all of the badness from old versions of Windows 
doing that might have been a hint.
