It's not a new problem. The Polish TLD is ".pl", which is also the file extension of Perl scripts. We get by just fine with that.

And .sh (shell script or Saint Helena), and .rs (Rust source file or Republic of Serbia). The latter in particular is quite popular for Rust-related websites.

Ah yes the infamous Cocos Islands TLD/file extension conflict.

These, as well as the ones cited in the next comment down, are all file extensions only developers or perhaps power users would know. But .zip is a very mainstream file extension, perhaps one of the most mainstream ones besides the media ones (mp3, mp4, jpg, png, gif) and .exe.
