On the TC we already see the problem in practice. Kavi does not seem to be aware of the ODF mimetypes, and if we do not set the file name correctly, when we download from our own document repository some documents come down as *.bin files which Windows does not associate with any editor. Sure, I can figure it out -- save, rename, etc. But to the average user this is very confusing. The point of having consistent file extensions is it works well whether your server is configured properly or not. -Rob
