I think that the advice of omitting the file extension given in most LaTeX 
introductions is more trouble than it is worth in ConTeXt. Omitting file 
extensions is important if you are generating both dvi and pdf outputs. In 
ConTeXt, one never uses the DVI output, so I think that one should ALWAYS 
specify the file extension. That removes a lot of headaches with the wrong 
file being sourced.
