Actually, they should all have .txt extensions, because it's part of the 
coding standards.

I will double check, but several of the modules I have downloaded don't 
have them.

Let's see...  For example: 
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/taxonomy_context/

It looks like the readme file has changed (per some discussion on the 
devel list), but the install file is still extension-less.

I am all for going through and changing them to have .txt after them and 
getting the same treatment as the readme files, but so long as there are 
extensionless files, there will be a bit of confusion.  For us poor 
windows users at any rate.  ;)
