Hey,

I dont' know the true answer to this question, but do know you can set up custom permalinks if you want so I'm sure it can be done.

I know for sure you can set it up to look like:

http://www.domainname.com/long-article-name/

there maybe a plugin for the .html but I can tell you first hand with two years experience that Google does not care about the .html extension.

My pages with the above format get index lighting fast and appear in top results for many keywords.
- Thanks

Sure,that's no problem with Wordpress.

try this as your custom permalink structure :

/%category%/%postname%.html

  I agree try that structure. If that doesnt then /%postname%/ will do just fine. My blog posts get indexed just as fast.
  
  Thanks

  Without the category will also work
  
  It depends on what you like and want

if you can put html on the end I'd do it. There are still some search engines that assume html is static/hand edited. Apparently...

.html will work fine in posts but not pages

Here is a plug in you can use to also have .html on pages

IntroSites Blog Archive .html Wordpress permalink on PAGES plugin

  You put the .html in the settings when you set it up all my permalinks are .html and you can edit it from the admin at any time.
