What they did seems like what someone not really understanding what we
are doing would copy from our implementation if some guy from marketing
said that they needed it to compete with us. They don't really move
attributes into the namespace. They access them with an API separate
and additional to that used for files. The only thing they do get right
is that they store them as files and directories. I bet that they don't
have the underlying infrastructure needed for this to be efficient for
small attributes though, and I bet the performance sucks.
Sorry for my ungenerous comments.
