For those wondering about those ._ files, here is the explanation from the "guilty" party, Apple itself:

For most files, these ._ are actually empty and in case of Rev stacks safely ditched.

So in all cases where the file has no resource fork (many Classic file, most OS X files, and just about all Rev stacks, MP3s, MPEGs, and more) it's merely a waste of time and space.

That Apple provides no option for the user to be able to decide whether this happens is an unfortunate design decision.

That Apple does this for files that have no resource fork is a bug.

That is, it would be a bug but another poster here already pointed out that no software vendor in the world 'cept RunRev ever ships anything with known bugs. ;)
