Regarding the file extension:
What is the normal GNOME way of doing this? I think it is to append
.<appname>, which seems quite reasonable to me.
      

But why would you follow Gnome if there is Open Office out there?  OO 
has a void that Planner can fill.
    

Perhaps because Planner is a Gnome application?
  

Sure, there may be some sponsorship issues that drive the product strategy.  I do not know how it works in the "open" development world.

As a user, I am looking for a management tool, not for a "Gnome enhancement".  I guess, it boils down to what the strategy is.  Is it  intended to be tied to, and to live and die along with, Gnome.  Or is it supposed to be a Project Management tool first and foremost that is looking for best ways to become a mainstream tool.

I don't quite understand why you seem to think this is such a big deal.
As you imply, OpenOffice does append a three-letter extension. That has
never bothered me, although I think three-letter extensions are silly.
Why does it bother you so much when a program doesn't use a three-letter
extension?
