I don't know why all people here ignore the real problem:
Unix is a MULTIUSER os, and a MULTILINGUAL one, too! All solutions given
so far simply do not work for even the simplest examples (icons). Icons and
a vast amount of resource data (like editor cursor position) are
user-specific, and should therefore stored as that (per user), and not per
file.
Any scheme for resource forks has to solve the per-user problem (no, keying
resources by uid doesn't work, as users might change uid, might have
different uids per machine, and also you would need to have write access to
the resource fork somehow).
(this has, I think, already been mentioned on this list but was constantly
ignored)
