However I doubt Flash Player + MP4 will disappear from the web that fast...

May be Divx H.264 file will stick to .divx extension?
That would be a HUGE mistake! The only correct extensions for Matroska are .mkv (for videos) and .mka (for audio-only files).
Also the new Matroska-based ".divx" files would be completely incompatible to the old AVI-based ".divx" files. This would cause a hell of confusion !!!

The question is, how do you pronounce Matroska?
"Matroska is an English word derived from the Russian word "matryoshka" (Russian: матрёшка, IPA: [mɐˈtrʲoʂkə]), which means "nesting doll" (the common Russian egg-shaped doll within a doll). This is a play on the container (media within a form of media/doll within a doll) aspect of the matryoshka as it is a container for visual and audio data. The transliteration may be confusing for Russian speakers, as the Russian word "matroska" (матроска) actually refers to a sailor suit." - Wiki has spoken.
