The simple argument I think is that all/most users will (probably) think of such a file as a TIFF file and that .tiff/.tif is what denotes a TIFF file.

Indeed.

I'm sure discussions could go on for lots of emails... I think the top 'N' people or so involved with LIBTIFF should make a decision. Once it's made, us programmers will get on and implement what ever is required!!

Yes, I couldn't agree more. We've discussed it up to the point were all arguments have been repeated. I final conclusion and descision from the top 'N' people is then indeed exactly what is needed.
