I can see that those file names all conform to section 3.7 of the "CSS2.1 Test Case Authoring Guidelines" [1], but does anyone know why the extensions are all ancient Microsoft-style--three characters long (e.g. ".htm")--when even Microsoft operating systems and browsers have supported longer extensions (e.g. ".html") for many years?
