Dave Winer, celebrating in Europe!
10:12:15 PM CET  - - 10:56:43 AM CET - - Keith Devens wants
file extensions to disappear from files that are accessible through the
internet. I agree with the point he seems to make that extensions do
not have added value to a URL. How does the average user benefit from
the knowledge that an index.php file is apparently written in PHP? He
doesn't.
But what's the use in, as Keith suggested, adding .html when a file
contains HTML source code, or .xml when it's XML? None, I think. When I
visit a website, I don't need to know what's beneath the hood. I just
want to see the content, read some text and move on. I don't care that
it's HTML, or XHTML source code.
Of course, I'm a web developer, so personally, sometimes I do want to know. But I'm not the kind of internet user developers should be developing for.
So, if you leave out extensions, leave them all out.
