The shell should ALWAYS be the first line. I, personally, would not accept one that didn't have that. Of course, I can't think of one I've seen that didn't.

That first is not a good idea. What works in one may not work in another. For example, if there's an old shell script in Bourne, that will gag on
export HOTSHOT=/home/myself
or
alias h=history
And the extension certainly isn't necessary; however, I normally do it as good practice, so that you know what it is without doing a file on it.
