I am nominating this bug for escalation. The proposal is pretty small and fits
well with the intention of the accept attribute, also the main objection seems
to be lack of implementation experience, something that I believe is pretty
debatable.  

Proposed title: Accept attribute should allow file extensions in addition to
the current allowed values

Description: The spec states: “The accept attribute may be specified to provide
user agents with a hint of what file types will be accepted.” The options
currently allowed in the accept attribute are mime types and the special tokens
“audio/*”, “image/*”, “video/*”.  Allowing file extensions to be a token would
help many developers and fits in exactly with the purpose of the accept
attribute.
