the problem with this as I understand is that zope/python use the . to
reference the object hirearchy, like bob.surfs.net.here would referr to
bob/surfs/net/here.  you can indeed name objects with a period but if
you use them in a python context you may have problems.

otoh, for other documents, i find simply not having an extention works
alright.
perhaps better than the alphabet soup of .php3 .phtml .asp etc.
