There is another issue here as well, which is that Samba is not
flexible enough, IMO, in those cases where the OS or the FS does not
support separate SYSTEM and USER name spaces.

Then, all the xattrs have to be collapsed into one name space.

A trick I have used before is to prefix SAMBA xattrs with something
like .samba: but that requires more flexibility in the filtering.
