This isn't a Solaris-specific extension, its part of the original Sun NFSv4 spec. Unfortunately the ARC/ARchitecture Cases from Opensolaris.org are no longer available, otherwise the background, e.g. feature parity with CIFS/NTFS, and the overall usefulness of such a feature, would be clearer. There are many many applications coming from either the Windows world or the HPC camp (like nih.org or GE Healthcare) who mandatory rely on the existence of this feature (well, at least enough so that AT&T cloud services and the related toolchain (e.g. AST, including ksh93) now have extensive support for O_XATTR).
