Currently people use XML as file extension for their DDI documents, but the 
fact that the DDI uses XML doesn't mean that it has to use XML as it file 
extension. The hole purpose of file extensions is to easier differentiate 
files of different types, and XML files using different DTDs are of 
different type.

So my suggestion is that the DDI committee should come up with an official 
recommendation for file extension. The most obvious would be to use .DDI

What do others think?
