Thanks As crazy as XATTR files first sound the merit of having 'context files' associated with a file or directory and having the crap cleaned up automatically if such files or directories are rm'ed has caused a frenzy of ideas among my staff. Now the challenge is on my side: Find backup solutions (Solaris and Illumos tar and pax do well, but I like to be crossplatform) and find good arguments against the most whacked usages.
