You don't need any special fs support for this.
The meta-data handling should be hidden in the userland libraries. Nothing
stops you from giving special meaning to files in a directory.
If you need a "metadata-challenged" application to access the "default" part
of your metadata, don't point it at the directory, point it at the
directory/default file.
tar, cp etc will handle this just fine.
Or am I missing something for which you do need fs support?
