Is this a bad idea? Server Side Include Question

[blstriker]

I'm running IIS 5.0 and by default, only files that end in .stm, .shtml, and .shtm are processed for SSI tags. However, I just included .html to be scanned for SSI as well. The reason I did this is because I want to use headers and footers on every page. I guess the down side of setting .html for SSI scanning is that all .html files, with or without SSI will be scanned which will decrease server performance. However, the hit isn't too big since my site is still small.

I'm thinking that what I did was okay. Can anybody give me any reasons not to keep it this way? Thanks a bunch!

The only reason I can think of not to do it is because it is not the "right" way to do it.
