Hi, Does anybody have an opinion on whether setting an extended attribute to empty using the setxattr interface is supposed to be semantically equivalent to removing the xattr using removexattr? I rather wish this were the case in the interest of a robust usage model, but I pessimistically expect to learn that, no, an empty xattr is indeed different from an nonexistent xattr, similer to environment variables.
