I agree that we should come to consensus on a file extension. The argument that "it is out of our jurisdiction" only makes sense to me if it is in some other group's jurisdiction. AFAICT, it is not. And consensus is needed, so let's proceed.
Suggestions? Is there any reason we should still limit ourselves to the traditional three characters? Are there any registries reliable enough to get a sense of possible conflicts, or how bad they may be? Once we choose an extension, what if anything should be done about correspondence with mime type? IIRC, the extension ".jsm" was already proposed, but may have had fatal conflicts. To get the ball rolling, ".jsmod" ?
