Perhaps there's something we can learn from the rearchitecture of Java's file handling that's happening in NIO 2. They're overhauling how files, directories, file systems, links, and metadata is handled. They address things such as providing both a lowest common denominator layer and platform specific "extensions". See for example http://javanio.info/filearea/nioserver/WhatsNewNIO2.pdf starting at slide 17.
