Re: forcing html rendering for files without extensions

	Quoth Mouse: 'Well...keying things off filename extensions is
a useful heuristic.  But there is a problem with it, more or a problem
in the abstract than a pragmatic problem: what is an extension?...'
	lynx keys off them. (lynx calls them suffixes but they're the
same thing).  emacs does too, and has the problem you outlined.
	Theoretically one could add a handler for no suffix to
lynx.cfg as one does for all the other extensions - why not for no
extension?

	Quoth Thorsten Glaser: 'I think lynx shouldn't change what it
already does, to default to plaintext, but making the backslash into a
toggle *towards* HTML for files rendered as plaintext is a good idea.'
	I think that's a lot of work.  Hitting backslash to see a
plaintext file as plaintext isn't.
