Yes, i have checked that.
What do you think about adding other possible namespaces (system, security, and... don't remember the 3rd one) ? So that when manipulating UNIX archives etc these attributes could be kept along with files ? At least we have one use case now.
P.S. Sorry if the message duplicates. I have tried to send it from home, but for some reason it got swallowed.
