Eh, it doesn't matter how it's handled. Someone, somewhere will hate
the fact the idea itself exists, completely ignoring the merits.
While I do think using extended attributes would be the shiznit
(mostly because it would decouple comments from an arbitrary file to
the actual file with the comments). But even that could have only
been done 10.5+, no? (Since extended attributes isn't on by default
in 10.4).

There is no more hfs+ metadata left to use. The new extended
attributes post-date .DS_Stores but could, theoretically, be used.
Having an adaptive strategy makes some sense to me too.
