[vorbis] .ogg file extension for both audio and video?

One thing about NT/2k/XP is that you should use cmd and not command to 
get to the command prompt.  CMD is a lot more like a regular *nix 
terminal in how it works with the os.  You won't notice many differences 
from command but it is much more powerful.  I think they hang onto 
command.com for backwards compatibility.  Anyway, I tried renaming a 
file to and from multi-extension filenames and copying to and from 
multi-extension file names and it worked no problem at all in CMD and 
command.  The GUI and CLI can do it.  If there is a space in a file name 
you do need to surround it (the whole filename) with double quotes.

I still think .ogg and .ogm is fine though.  It's what is already used.  
Why turn the world on it's head?
