.utf8 Files?

In the code for reading subtitle files in spumux, there is an odd little 
feature: if the name of the file ends in “.utf”, “.utf8” or “.utf-8”, 
then the contents of the file are assumed to be encoded in UTF-8, 
ignoring any value you may have set for the “characterset” attribute in 
the <textsub> tag.

To me, this seems like an interim kludge which was put in before the 
“characterset” support was added.

Does anybody actually make use of this feature? Is it a convention 
observed by any other software at all?
