Either way, there are compatibility and conformance issues. I personally
strongly prefer the concept of "anything after a '.' is a
meta-information flag", but that'll be something we'll have to enforce.

A script that knew of all possible meta-information flags and searched a
file tree for documents with bogus things like ".old" would be useful to
write I suppose....
