I don't know if these are really enforced anywhere, but how about

	.i   Berkeley Pascal include source file (I've seen it used as such)

	.f77 Fortran 77 source file

	.el (or .ell) Lisp (probably Franz) source file

I must plead guilty to only having seen these used, and never having used
them myself (I program in Pascal on another machine, I don't program in
Fortran, and I use Lisp on another machine).  Therefore, I don't know
about the unversality of these conventions.
