a few pax questions

(1) when writing to the archive, what is output for a file that only
    has the default xattr? just the file or the file and default xattr

(2) when reading from an archive what happens when a file being extracted
    already exists and the archive xattr differs from the existing xattr?
        (a) archive xattr added to existing
        (b) existing file deleted then archive file+xattr added
