Agreed. A media file should not have to have a non-standard extension
to flag it as a trailer. Unless I've missed something obvious, it will
likely break other media players from being able to play the file. A
lot of users export their video collections via NFS/Samba and not all
clients will either be mythfrontend or will attempt to play/list such
files with a non-standard media file extension.
