Well, it's certainly not more "appropriate" from a users viewpoint,
but from the viewpoint of a developer, there could certainly be good
reasons why one might not want to invest the time needed to add this

If you do this, will you also add support for some of the other
POV-related file extensions that were left out originally? For
