It certainly wouldn't harm to ask the GNU tar maintainers what their plans with respect to xattrs are, i.e. whether they intend to be bsdtar compatible.
I have received some info from Tim Kientzle. Looks like apologists of the "Sit and Wait" strategy can sleep safely: star, bsdtar and gnu tar have agreed to support everyone's xattr implementations. So I throw my homebrew drafts away.
