Hi Jim,

I did a http://groups.google.com search for "html file extension
standard". This thread ranked first:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=html+file+extension+standard&hl=en&sel
m=9kk1rk%24sko%241%40forums.macromedia.com&rnum=1

One of the posters made the comment that for some reason, several search
engines would index his ".htm" pages as ".html" pages. So when users
found a page on his site and tried to click through, they would end up
with a 404.

So that's not good.

I'd stick with ".html".

Cheers,

Beau
