>I have used a couple web/page different authoring tools now. Some assign a default .HTM, and some assign a default .HTML to HTML docs. Then I start noticing on the web what's out there, and there's a mixture. Seems like there ought to be a standard for this?

There's no difference, except for the point that you mentioned- possible compatibility problems with software that expects a 3 character extension. I name my files with 3 chars for this reason, but beyond that, I wouldn't worry about it a bit.
