 Yes, i have checked that.
 What do you think about adding other possible namespaces (system, security, 
and... don't remember the 3rd one) ? So that when manipulating UNIX archives 
etc these attributes could be kept along with files ? At least we have one use 
case now.

 P.S. Sorry if the message duplicates. I have tried to send it from home, but 
for some reason it got swallowed.

Kind regards,
