Lisp data is Lisp code.  Lisp code can raise
errors.

Narrow any bit of fine Lisp code randomly and
eval it.  It's still code; it's just unlikely
to be `eval'able without error.

I think you're talking about Lisp code that's
Lisp-`read'able without error, but not 
necessarily `eval'able without error.

If so, fine.  But that, in itself, doesn't
say why it merits a different file extension.
There may be good reasons.  So far, haven't
heard any.

(Ask "Why?" around here and the knives come
out.  I'd think that a proposal to change a
file extension would be accompanied by a
simple reason or two...)
