DivX video with ogg audio, isn't it?

If so, then that's pretty well established and it might be better to use a
different extension indicate a Xiph version.  Just to seperate Theora from
being Divx.

.oga for audio only and .ogv for audio and video?  Close enough to '.ogg' to
be recognised.

But still, it might be nice to have some extension that is somewhat
descriptive of Theora video.  .OGT perhaps?

Is there still any great reason to require just three letter extensions?
Probably not too many DOS, Win3 or Win95 users around anymore.  Any OS or
app problems?  Maybe, because people have habbitually used 3 letters for a
long time.
