Or any other known one (rtfd, eg.). Well, the very existence of the bundle

Do you know if there's a list around? Is there a way to add one of my
extensions to this list?

Yeah -- just make an application which uses this suffix for its data files.

I disagree it's an unimportant trifle. It is data loss, and users will be
confused if their documents suddenly become folders.

Well, that's why I advocate using suffixes instead of the bundle bit: then it would not happen in any circumstances.
