No offense, but that sounds like something from interface
design hell. I can understand how it would simplify the
design and such, but I'm just envisioning my mother trying
to figure out what "platform-specific" means on the one hand
and how the hell she's going to get those thingies after the
dot on the other hand.
I htink part of the point of a cross-platform product is to
make sure the user doesn't know what platform they're
running on.
