Subject: RFE: the manpage claims no limits on size of file extended attributes; has this now true?

Ok, lemme rephrase my questions...
The man page lists maximums for values at 64K, and names at 255
characters. This implies these are the only limits one need worry about
-- i.e. there is no limit on the maximum number of 255 byte names nor is
there a limit on the sum of the values of attributes. Is it something
like 2^60 bytes? or some such limit that no one will ever hit? Could
I store alternate soundtracks for movies in attribute fields, or
alternate scenes for movies?
