How would you configure Apache to be extension-less given that you need things like:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3  # For PHP
AddType application/x-tar .tgz          # For 'shorthand' tar.gz
AddType text/html .shtml                # For server-parsed

to have it send the proper 'content-type' to the broswer?

As an aside, I completely agree that end user apps should be extensionless. I don't think extensions are a bad thing for webservers. How often do you enter http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=3628 in the location bar of your browser? Odds are you type http://www.perlmonks.org and click 'Newest Nodes' or just have a bookmark...

I find it much quicker typing
perlmonks.org/?node_id=3628
