As to the file name suffix point . Many insisted (Mostly Microsoft and Microsoft application developers) that iCal define a file extension.
And as I have noticed that MANY implementations store ICS files without their text/calendar MIME header. I suspect many will for xCAL. So without a MIME type in the file, many data typing engines would fail if it were not for a file name suffix.
So xCal has a file extension. I do not care what it is. And I do not care how many 'dots' are in the file name as long as the OS's and their applications allow for it.
REBTW2: Extension "stacking" is not "unsupported" by most systems
either. It works fine in Unix, Mac, and Windows.
It is supported by some POSIX (UNIX, Linux, BSD, and newer Mac) applications, but not those OS's.
In fact on those POSIX OS's the 'dot' means nothing at all and it is simply another character in the file name that can have zero to many 'dot's in the file name.
Cameron - Question: Can the windows registry handle multiple DOTs in suffixes to files on what ever are the top most Windows versions in use?
My VERY LIMITED knowledge and testing says no, but I might not know what I am doing as I use POSIX systems for almost everything.
