   But no, that was not the question.  The question was about an   
   "official" extension, and as far as the Forth200x committee is   
   concerned, .4th is the official extension.  Of course that does not   
   mean that other extensions are forbidden.  And actually the standard   
   document does not mention extensions at all.
