This discussion seems to have died down, so I am going to assume that we
have come to an agreement now. I counted ...
4 - without extensions
1 - no strong opinion
1 - with extensions
I am going to update the proposal to reflect that we discussed this
aspect of the design and came to a decision to not use file extensions.

Not yet ;)
Video is where my (past) experience has shown that actual extension can
solve certain problems. It doesn't necessarily apply to HTML, XML, RSS,
etc.
Search engine placement could also be a big deal and
if there were a real effect, I'd value this over w3c purity.
I think the search engine point is not really valid. We are making
assumptions only and we don't really know the facts.
Right. I wish we did know the facts. I'm just saying that *if* the
facts *did* show extensions did help search engine ranking, I would be a
pragmatist and say "use 'em".
