H2O, ccl is an extension that was created by CC community quite a while ago. The reason is just what I explained in #1 above. That is, many other files on the net have the .dat extension, but .ccl is ours and only ours.
The reason to standardize is that it's quite confusing to try and catalog files when they have two different names. There are so many files out there with BOTH extensions -- which is the original?
It would be great if we were more organized, and could give all levelsets the same extension.
For those two reasons, I'm for standardizing to the .ccl extension, and naming all sets that way.
But of course, I'll do whatever the majority decides.

It's Jan A from the early Chip days. I've been collecting user level sets since 1999, and am happy to share from my collection. Let me know what you're looking for.
