Good point! I was expecting Finder, in the absence of an HFS+
filesystem, to look for com.apple.FinderInfo and
com.apple.ResourceFork xattrs. After all, dot-underscore files are
only needed for filesystems which don't support xattrs, right?

Okay, I know that those two particular extended attributes are
'special', and are just really handles to different forks. But on a
foreign filesystem, if there's only a data fork (no AppleDouble file),
I'd have thought that xattrs should be the fallback.

By the way, is Apple really serious about deprecating resource forks?
Icons contained in bundles are all well and good, but what's their
strategy for e.g., folders with custom icons such as are used
extensively in the Mac experience?
