A couple reasons... 1. Mime types
If your css files end in .foo instead of .css, the web server won't send the appropriate "text/css" type unless it has been explicitly configured to do so. Even though you might be saying <link type="text/css" ...>, user agents are supposed to respect the content-type header sent with the file, which in this case would likely be "text/plain", so in standards-compliant browsers, the style sheet wouldn't be loaded. 2. Internet Explorer Internet Explorer has historically relied on the file extension in the url to determine what type of content it is, sometimes ignoring the content-type or other indicators. In this case, it probably wouldn't be an issue, but it is something to be aware of.
