I have programmed in asp, aspx & php and I like seeing the common extension of the language I coded in if for no other reason to know at a glance what I wrote the site in after not working on it for a couple of years. Additionally, I like knowing what other sites have been written in in the event I think something's "cool" and I want to know how the programmer did it. And finally, the Christophe's point, if you guys are to "resurect" webDNA and have it rise like a pheonix from the ashes (a quote from someone's earlier post), then I think you want as much brand recognition as you can get. I know that when I see a website that @ know is dynamic but is using an extension that I don't recognize, I often look it up to see what it is. And finally, about using .html. I would not recommend that. We all have control over our servers it would appear. However, in a shared hosting environment you often don't. If WebDNA ever gets widely adopted, the hosting companies are not going to map .html to webDNA - just like they don't do it for asp or php.
