(In reply to Kirk McKusick from comment #13)
Restore is used in the context of a full, and then incremental restores. So it
makes sense to only restore the attributes of the file being restored and yes
the -u option should be used.  I think the most elegant approach is to draw the
attention of users to the -u option with an additional sentence along the lines
of:
"This flag is recommended when using extended attributes, to avoid improperly
accumulating attributes upon (pre)existing files."

Changing the behaviour of restore in the default case, probably isn't
warranted.  Someone may a script that "requires" restore to complain for some
reason!?

Thank-you for your consideration.
