Hi folks,

I'm really in favour of supporting (transparent) extendet
attributes. Those attributes shouldn't be used by the server,
but are only useful for the client. For example we could store
labels for SELinux, gid, unix specific attributes (ie. suid/sgid
or sticky) there.

BTW: extended attributes are evrything but new - already Amiga
and GEOS hat such things. 

Optionally supporting extended attributes would make coda 
much more useful, IMHO.
