The following led me to believe this:
" Zope is an object management system. Objects have classes that identify
what they are. It isn't necessary to embed type information in object
names. Furthermore, because Zope is scripted with Python, file-extensions
in object names are extremely inconvenient.
Many systems that Zope interacts with, however, are not object oriented.
These systems depend on file-name extensions to determine file types. Zope
has been acccused of being "unfiendly" to these systems because it doesn't
encourage use of file extensions."
