Comment:

 I am of the mindset that adding this by default adds restrictions that
 could potentially cause issues.  I have no idea how many plugins in the
 wild it would break, but I have 3 applications (built using themes and
 plugins) that use real file extensions that would be delivered via
 WP_Rewrite.  These cover images, documents, js and css.

 The decision previously was that the rules should remain as simple as
 possible to not create adverse restrictions that would hamper the
 capabilities of WP_Rewrite.

 This functionality can easily be wrapped into a plugin that utilizes
 add_external_rule().  I vote to close as wontfix and suggest that this be
 implemented via a plugin.
