Next to impossible to implement probably. How many filesystems have
accessible metadata at the moment?

Besides, in different filesystems the metadata layout will probably
vary, even more than in Reiser4 with its plugin architecture.

However, it would be GREAT if Reiser4 defined a standard here, because
the current layout is poetically beautiful.
