trusted ones are still fairly harmless and exist in most implementations
under a slightly different name.  They aren't quite as essential,
though.

The important point is to not carry over the system and security namespacs.
Those are a bad and Linux specific mistake to abuse the xattr interface for
all kinds of other interfaces.  This isn't something that should be carried
over to other standards.
