This ha sbeen discussed before and Artem seems to have problems with it.
I do not understand these problems and I believe that users would quickly
understand the background. It would even help to understand the merits and the
drawbacks od the different filesystems.

I believe that HAL will mount all media readonly, isn't it?

mkisofs allows to use the options:
- -hide for ISO-9660 and RR
- -hide-joliet for Joliet
- -hide-udf for UDF
to prevent files from appearing in one of the possible filesystems.
