A very bad idea. Allow it, but don't break things for those of us who
don't need these conversions. I realize that you tried to be somewhat
conservative by only doing files of certain extensions. There is still
no guarantee that those same extensions aren't used by some programs
for binary data. Be _very_ conservative when changing defaults.
