Actually - there is very clear evidence that Google is at least sometimes crippled by Roller's lack of file exntensions:

Search result #7 is an rss page in Roller.

Yes, you hit on a pet peeve. Extensions for content type not implementation.

When designing the JavaOne web site 5 years ago we made every page available in 4 formats which was controlled by the extension.

standard ones:
javaone/2001/session-1234/detail.html   (for desktop browser visitors)
javaone/2001/session-1234/detail.xml (for crawling by 3rd party data harvesters)

two custom types:
javaone/2001/session-1234/detail.lite     (for small screen devices)
javaone/2001/session-1234/detail.prt     (for printing)



John, are you saying that you are for or against file extensions?
