You are doing a syntax assumption, and seem to be only discussing
syntax. I'm talking about a set of semantics - in this case the fact
that (a) opening the file will give the normal data fork, and (b) you
can't just rename something out of a fork, and (c) you get a clear
distinction from user-created directories.
I don't think this overcome the disadvantages of using forks to store
critical application data; however, it should be part of the
considerations.
