The only case where it seems to matter is when you're serving documents that require helper apps in IE (PDF, Word Docs, etc.). Apparently, IE has a nasty habit of opening auxiliary apps based on file suffixes rather than MIME types. Grr...
Beyond that, you may wish to consider if you'll use Zope for graphics at all. I concluded a while ago that the benefit of having tags rendered on the fly just isn't worth the overhead. When I need to serve a decent number of static files, I prefer to serve them from Apache.
Well, in cases where we want to include a few small graphic files within Zope, I guess it will make sense to continue to name them in the traditional way, i.e., "picture.gif", to prevent problems with IE. It sounds like Python scripts can still refer those objects if they need to using gettatr(context,'picture.gif'). Thanks for all the help.
