--- Comment #11 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
It is a matter of consistency.

>From UX perspective--using ".3" file extensions are hit-or-miss in cross
platform development.  In LibreOffice we have "explicit" typing when saving a
document that is *NOT* based on assigned file extension. Documents do not
require a .3 extension and LibreOffice will happily open documents into correct
module without fuss--including on M$ Windows.

Supporting this cross platform modifying Save-as dialog in LibreOffice native
file dialogs, or integrating OS/Desktop Environment to interpret a ".3" file
extension would be a development/support effort that is simply not that
appealing--either from dev perspective, nor from the general user community,
i.e. the Non-M$ users.

I'd say not worth the effort it would require.

Wontfix.
