I guess when you've got alphanum characters, you can't do much ;)  Of 
course, there's no real restriction on file extension length, just more of 
an unwritten agreement that they should be three (or maybe, _maybe_ four) 
letters long.  Of course, Visual Studio just leaves this rule in the dust 
with its *.vcproj and such..

Good point.  But like James said, it might use it do just display the final 
result or something.
