as long as the MIME type on the server says it's an HTML file, you
can have any extension be an HTML file... alternatively, you can
have a .html file that has an incorrect MIME type associated with
it, and gets treated as text...
i'ev seen poorly administered IIS boxes show the HTML source to
NN users because no MIME type is configured (or correctly
configured) for .asp... IE, of course, knows it's HTML and renders
it...
