Yes, I guess they should both be without extension.

However I very rarely have files with extensions anyway (it's the
'Unix' way).  I have actually written a little pre-processor for
r2w.py that creates temporary symbolic links of <filename>.txt for all
files that return 'text' in the result in response to "file
<filename>".  A post-processor then removes all symbolic links which
end in .txt afterwards.
