"index.shtml" should probably go: that's for server-side includes, as
processed by Apache and some other servers.  The <!--#something -->
stuff, a bit like PHP or other inline scripting markup systems.

AFAIK, the others are all typically static content safe to be served
as-is (even if some systems do handle transforms on .xml).

Some of those are supposed to have MIME types other than text/html.
