According to [Cool URIs don't change](http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html), it's a good practice to leave out the file extension.

But github pages has a poor support for MIME recognizing. When I leave out the .html extension, the page was returned with "Content-Type: application/octet-stream".

I noticed that you're host github pages with nginx. It's possible to configure nginx with automatic MIME recognizing.
