Hi Metze,

no, because at the moment there is just one flag, and that is covered
by DELETED=1. If/when we need more flags we can add RMD_FLAGS, and
treat absence of RMD_FLAGS as meaning that it is zero. I don't want
redundent information in the on-disk form, or we will just need code
to cope with the case where RMD_FLAGS and DELETED are not consistent.

For backlinks of link-less DN attributes we can test for the '@'
prefix, much like we use for internal objects.

I haven't implemented the link-less DN backlink handling yet, but I
don't think that is essential for a merge. 

Cheers, Tridge
