Hmm. The word "extension" doesn't even appear in connection with
file names in the PEP (only in relation to "C extensions").

Does the PEP, or does it not, specify that a dash must be used between
the package-name-and-version? Neither the words "hyphen" nor "dash"
appear in the PEP, except that hyphens are used inside the tag, and that
hyphens and dots in get_platform() results are replaced.
