Not in my set-up you can't. If I take an html file and call it lmth instead, 
Opera will display the source as text. I think that's fairly common, where 
the extension is used to determine the action the browser takes.

Maybe so, but what happens if you are sending back the correct content type 
with the incorrect extension? Does the former override the latter? It seems 
not to do so with Opera, Firefox, Dillo or Konqueror.
