The .html 'exception' shouldn't really be that surprising. How many web servers do you know that run on MS-DOS?

The "htm" extension was a lot more common back when some consumer systems still had the three character limit. The web server limitations don't matter that much on something like a web hotel where users typically FTP their files over from whatever OS they are using themselves.
