Hey Harry,
I'm also fine with a different suffix then .offline, but for me "offline" means that the file/video is not accessible right away and you have to insert, plug or turn on some device/media in order to access it. But maybe offline has some different meaning for people with English as their mother toung. I didn't know "stub" until now and had to ask a dictionary (dict.leo.org), but the translations didn't make any sense to me in this context.
although XBMC itself can't play HDDVD natively, you can still watch them using external players etc. But independent from that, it should/could still prompt you to insert the disc if you like to watch that movie.
