Right, that was the original point that I was trying to make (but botched). The 80s Mac solved this near-perfectly, but then regressed to the current "just add a dot and some gibberish to the filename (and perhaps, or perhaps not, hide the gibberish and dot). Because when you copy a file to some other system (e.g. USB drive, or email attachment, etc), only the common properties survive. So having a filesystem with awesome capabilities that the others lack becomes worse, not better. (T_T)
