That's possible, and I considered the possibility -- but it would be
just _so_ bizarre. I mean, why should a CD-burning utility care about
the contents of an image file (or its name, either)? That's not its
job.
FWIW, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_image, "On Mac OS X,
ISO[-9660] images often have the .cdr extension." (That is the
naming convention for ISO-9660 images produced by, for example, OS X's
Disk Utility app.)
