I have something in the pipe about attribute interoperability.
It was my second (actually first) proposal for a poster at EuroSys, but
I couldn't only have one.
The idea being not about using each other's attributes but preserving
them.
The current way of "everyone uses his own scheme" doesn't work at all.
You'll end up from a People file to a single linux.user.DosStream
attribute after a trip to windows, Samba and linux...
