From my brief reading this morning, it appears that they’re essentially name/value pairs. Also, I wonder if these should be captured in the basic file system properties class (FileSystemProperties), or as an extension.

By default, they are empty...  Sadly, there is no standard for extended
attributes (which is partly why their use is limited)...  They are
name/value pairs, but FreeBSD also has system and user name spaces that
each name/value pair can be in...

Sure, sounds good...
