I'm developing a project that will use XML files to dump data for sharing between servers. Does it matter if I use an extension other than .xml in the file name? eg. 'myfile.abc' instead of 'myfile.xml'.

These files would most likely be read by CURL / LWP commands. Are there any issues with MIME-TYPES that might cause the files to be unopenable or unreadable as XML? (They will be W3C compliant XML files)

The reason is we need the files to be distinguishable from other XML files on the server. Thanks.
