I have no objection to applications swallowing the .sdf, as long as it's
consistent, and you can append sections and components, e.g.
blah.sdf.more.specdre.results would get the SPECDRE extension's RESULTS
NDF.
You might consider a check when reading files that there isn't a .SDF
component. If there is, then I think you treat the .SDF as part of the
HDS path rather than the name.

Education is needed on the first.
