Giving the option to append .s3 to the end of the region will allow the flexibility to specify any of the AWS Regions for their buckets as well as use the endpoint us-east-1.s3 for the US Standard bucket.
This is especially helpful those that want to use other buckets like the s3-external-1.amazonaws.com endpoint which gives any AWS EC2 server a low-latency access to the S3 bucket in that region.
And for those who use buckets connecting their ghost(<=0.5.8) to heroku this give them the ability to specify any of the buckets.
