I suspect the reason for the _ is to indicate that the file is compressed.
You wouldn't want to call the file xyz.htm , since that is not technically
correct and some servers would not be able to indicate the compressed state.
You can't call it xyz.htm.gz - some OS'es can only permit 3 characters as
an extension.

I myself vote for xyz.hgz for gzip'd version of the help file.
