That's cool stuff, but I don't think I can require Tiger for

use the File Manager. Oh well.
On non-HFS, you can probably rely on ._ on pre-Tiger.
I believe it contains not only resource fork but also file
metadata (FInfo, etc).
This is not true. file/..namedfork/rsrc is only supported on HFS+
volumes, which by definition have in-file-system support for FInfo
metadata. On an HFS+ volume, foo/..namedfork/rsrc is The Resource
Fork As God Laid It Down In 1984.
You're thinking of AppleDouble files (._foo), which put both the
resource fork and the HFS metadata into a regulation POSIX file for
non-HFS file systems.
