Rather than leave it up to guesswork and prayer, there could be some 
intentionality behind the use of creator codes and file types:

The Rev IDE is used for development, and the Player is used for 
deployment. Each has a very distinct role, so why confuse the two?

.rev cold remain in common use for development, and .rvp for deployment 
with Rev Player.

The Distribution Builder (or any five-minute plugin) could take take of 
changing the creator code and file type as needed for deployment.
