Re: [WebDNA] DNA suffix

texte = While an interesting idea to promote the language, if I generate HTML, I will continue to use .htm or .html. If I generate rss, it's .rss. XML will get .xml. I will also use the right designation in the mime header. I think this keeps sites more web-service ready. I'm happy to throw up a badge in my HTML like other languages/standards do.
