Can you please suggest a middle ground, then?

.ogg and application/ogg are set in stone. However, they don't map to
real-world usage too well. (Viz. the need to read the whole stream to
work out what it contains.)

There appears to be a very real need for some recommendation or
suggestion, official or semi-official, of a mnemonic file extension for
hinting at content type, just like there are recognised suggestions for
comment tags.

By doing this now it is hoped that it will save a lot of pain later.
