There's nothing magical about any suffix - it's just what you tell the server to be sensitive to. For example, I could change all the php files to have a 'pre' suffix to indicate that these files are 'pre'processed before displaying them.

Unfortunately, as long as certain browsers take notice of suffixes, they are somewhat magical. Making sure your extensions match your content is one sure-fire way to get round that :)

That's not always possible, though. Yes, one could set up the server to parse all .html requests as PHP, but what about dynamic images generated by PHP? To "match" the suffix there, you'd need to set the server to parse all .jpg, etc. files as PHP, which would be a sure-fire way to get bizarre behaviour ;)
