Am I correct? The HFS+ has such peculiarities that you can name extended attribute as you want. And name of extended attribute can keep in Attributes Tree without any prefixes (for example, as "test"). Moreover, it is not used such prefixes as "user." or "system." under Mac OS X. However, it exists under Mac OS X special prefix "com.apple." (for example, "com.apple.FinderInfo"). So, you suggest to add definition of additional prefixes "com." and "apple." in include/linux/xattr.h and to add xattr_handler's for these two prefixes. Am I correct? Of course, it has to implement xattr_handlers for "system.posix_acl_access" and "system.posix_acl_default" in the case of ACLs support implementation. But this patch set doesn't implement ACLs support for HFS+.
