I think the other thong to consider is ALL THE WORLD IS NOT LINUX.
Not yet anyhow.
A userspace implementation of metadata/whatever that can be exploited
and used by a library linked into GNOME/KDE/mc/whatever would then
also be able to be used under *BSD, Solaris, etc.
As numerous people have pointed out - transparent metadata isn't
going to be recognised by cp, rm, etc. anyhow.
