I agree.� Even if the contents are 100% text (non-binary) it still would be beneficial to have the file have its own extension.�

(BTW, if the file format doesn't have this already, it should have a token at the beginning of the file to identify that it is the file type and the file version number you are expecting)

Here's two cents from the peanut gallery, and late. I like the bc2 extension. It's clean and differentiates it from both bc and text files.

The fact that you can edit them in a text editor doesn't mean they need to be tagged as text files. You can edit a lot of other file types in text editors, and like Royce, I use PSpad which can make reading "specialized" txt files much more pleasant with its template feature.
