You can't argue against the principle, we take files as directories all 
the time and one level or another.
So, for me, it's botched implementation. Just wait for extended 
attribute directories to be added on with something like 
file.txt:meta.zip (but not zip files, something new [that's like zip but 
slightly different - maybe even encrypted])
They already have synthetic file systems built into NT!
