There is only one type of sequential file. It consists of a byte stream possibly including bytes that have special meaning.

Not sure, probably "cks fmt"? However, I suspect that's a typo as I've never heard of it and it's not listed here.

Nor is there any restriction on dreaming up filename extensions.

Sure there are some conventions (see link in Craig's post) but these are not necessarily universally agreed, and some are used for more than one purpose.
