My bad, you are correct. Thank you for noticing this. I pointed out that I am not positive this was a part of the standard.
The .cpp is however a common extension agreed upon by almost everyone. It's what both Mozilla requires (http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/portable-cpp.html#file_extension_is_cpp) and what would Microsoft IDE make for you. If fact every place I worked for last few years had .cpp as a standard extension. The Apple Darwin sources are all .cpp just the same.
