 Do you want people saying

YES!!!

a 3 letter extension makes sense. ogg is 3 letters- so why not use .ogg as
the extension?

> Why not
> .4 or .56 ?
How many people do you really think want to have a 56 character extension?

Well, microsoft has a nice format called ASF. Many file types fit under
this, i don't see anyone else complaining...
