Or is the extension not important? There are no constraits on the suffix, you are free to choose any filename. More correctly any URI, when we are talking about the web - as long as the URI is valid, which is beyond the scope of the (X)HTML specs. The content-type is important. For XHTML documents it must be application/xhtml+xml (or text/html, if is it XHTML 1.0 App. C conforming). If you are using static files on your webserver and no special server configuration, then the server will probably send 'application/xhtml+xml' only for .xhtml files. Thus, if anyfile.htm contains XHTML 1.1, it would end up invalid. But this could easily be changed without changing the URI by tuning the server config.
