File names start with _ expected _locales are preserved by Chrome. If you have a _file.js, it will be rejected to load. I think we should document that.

Files/directories starting with _ do not have a special treatment in Firefox.

How about Safari?

While it makes sense to document the (widely?) supported _locales/ directory, it may not make as much sense to document something that is only restricted in one browser. It may however make sense to add a comment like "Names starting with _ are reserved for future use and should not be used by extensions."
