Oh.... there _are_ other missing templates, I just figured they had not been added yet. But, looking at the directory (for the .htm vs .html) made me think about the inconsistencies.

It would seem to me that _most_ people would be editing the user templates, which are .html, rather than the admin templates which are .htm, so they would hit the problem on a windows system anyway.

If one directory is .htm and one is .html already there is the groundwork for some confusion -- both in programming and maintaining -- it's not 'standard'. It means remembering that the templates in one directory are .htm and not .html, and it paves the way for short cuts -- not taking the pains to make sure everything works the same way in all modules and areas.

It took me by surprise, really. Thought I'd try to make a case for getting it all 'standardized' again.
