Since this is a user interface issue, and since the purpose of the
extension is to tell the user what type of file each is, I think icons
provide enough distinction. Whenever the Finder is forced to use a generic
document icon, that ought to tell it that it needs to ignore the
hide-extension bit and show the extension anyway.
Cheers,
Tony

What will happen if a directory contains two files that differ only by
extension and extensions are hidden ? I don't recall the paper mentioning
that scenario. myFile.jpeg and myFile.tiff in the same directory.
