Repository objects are not text files.  They are binary (CMS). Each 
object DOES begin with its context type (and OID).  So, in the binary 
space, we do just what you suggested. But, it is still very helpful 
to make use of filename extensions, e.g., to allow different types of 
RPs to filter what they retrieve.
