who's to say they didn't. (i hope we're talking about plan 9 here, not unix. in plan 9 many cumbersome traditions were broken. if they had wanted attributes, they would have added them.) i don't see a specific problem in plan 9 that extra metadata solves. nemo makes a great point. the only place that plan 9 has icons, they are kept in /lib/face as files. - erik
