However, in the future we may, and in order for older system to read aliases created on these newer systems FSIsAliasFile() will attempt to read alias data from such files even if they don't have the isAlias bit set in Finder info. Ha, good one, you almost had me there. If Apple had reserved the .alias extension for alias files (as much as Apple can reserve a file extension) then it would be there as a file extension for kUTTypeAliasFile in the UTI APIs. Glenn.
