Yeah, I should have said, "... in terms of what I now know NTFS is capable
of, and the fact that REBOL transparently handles this [on WindowsNT, 2000
and XP]".
Encapsulating
stream usage like you suggest, and taking advantage of it
on platforms that support it, sounds like a good approach to me IMHO. Even
in a Windows only shop you have to deal with the fact that while servers
probably run with NTFS there will be at least *some* Win95/98/ME clients
out there, or devices that are FAT16/FAT32 based.
