You guys could also checked Wotsit's to make sure your choices
are not in use:

http://www.wotsit.org/list.asp?al=F

I bet a bunch of you forgot about Wotsit's...

You could also check Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_formats
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME_type

Some of you will notice the second link is for MIME types...
I think it would be good to not collide on those as well.

I would think the main priority, if there are no extension
collisions above, is to prevent choosing an extension that
Microsoft will use someday, or perhaps Google.
