If they're starting to appear in other systems, maybe we can
hope for some convergence in the future, so that they can
be dealt with in a cross-platform way. Then we might see
VCSes, web services, etc. start to respect them.

Experience with resource forks in the classic era has shown
how tremendously handy it can be to have a way of attaching
out-of-band data to a file in such a way that it can't get
accidentally lost and that apps that don't know about it can
just ignore it.
