I don't see how to architect the system I discussed without attributes.

I can...

Build yourself a file server that provides the environment you want with attributes... don't inject it into the core system.  Store it for real in fossil files with a certain format.

Done?

Plan 9's ability to have synthetic filesystems seems to do away with the need to change the way the core filesystems work.

  Speaking of which -- is there an easy way of implementing filtering filesystems? Something that would give
a filter-server N existing [sub]trees and a set of instructions on how to reshuffle their content and represent
it as a mountable output. 

Thanks,
