Indeed, I think we're forming our own conventions for these files, and a .txt extension is a good common denominator for cross-platform collaboration, especially those platform with with weird extension mechanisms... A quick grep in /usr/share/doc shows a bunch of such files with a .txt I'd say we should encourage having such extensions. Cheers, -- Nicolas Spalinger http://planet.open-fonts.org
