Does that sound feasible?

I see the point, but .cgi extensions indicate that files are executable,
and since that's not the case with the data files, it wouldn't be a very
"clean" solution. Besides, it would require changes in the program which
would make the new version non-compatible with previous versions, and
thus rather complicated to implement.

What's wrong with the solutions described at
