TBH I'm not a fan of any of the choices, but I've chosen the least
offensive.
 
My biggest no no is rsc as that is already taken for resource files.
 
But since this really doesn't actually affect anyone (despite all the
arguing and posturing) it really doesn't matter what is chosen.
 
Personally I start from a template file when starting a new project so
filenames are irrelevant.

There is only one syntax accepted for voting: list your 3 preferred <br>
