David Goodger and I had this conversation when we were hashing out
whether to allow writing PEPs in reST.  David was adamant that .txt be
used because the files /are/ text.  I was equally adamant that we
needed /some/ way to distinguish them, so we compromised.  The suffix
remained .txt but we added a

    Content-Type: text/x-rst

header to the PEP headers.
