As NTFS supports Alternate data streams (ADS)

so in theory there may be no need for Mac OS X resource forks,  
extended attributes etc. to be presented in ways that are ugly to  
Windows users of such volumes.

I had a brief discussion along these lines, long ago but I can't  
recall who it was with (Paul Marks?), whether it was on- or off-list,  
in IRC, or in Adium ... if I can, I'll find a note of what was  
discussed.

In the meantime: AFAIR it was not immediately desirable to use ADS in  
an NTFS-3G context. Still, it's food for thought.

Graham
