Hmm... 
Normally I'm really leery of filesystem-specific file attributes, for
obvious compatability-nightmare reasons, but a filesystem-specific attr
for controlling an _internal_ filesystem function (not, say, extra auth
bits or something nasty like that) could be ok.
However, what about potential performance effects of this?
