[MEI-L] File extensions

Just to put my two cents in:
I use .xml no matter what schema I am working with.
I never used .mei
If I remember correctly, even TEI'S ROMA tool oputputs the ODD files as
.xml and that's fine. This way you do not have to have the knowledge
that you can use a XML (or even Text) editor to open it. One can rely on
the filesystem to handle the data in an appropriate manner.
Best
Benjamin
