Which of course assumes that the "noobs" running Windows have changed their preferences to display filename extensions.
Hmm... Which takes them out of the "nooby" classification.
I agree, stick with a meaningful extension, don't invent one.
If you need to detect if your using the correct file, insert a special reserved name file (like: MANIFEST) in the archive and then test for it.
