The reason is simple -- to make the archive easily and without confusion
useable worldwide. Should you try to unpack archive of your design on, say,
Linux, you'll get a pretty mess. OTOH, should you unpack there "mine", you'll
get only some trash in /tmp, where it does not matter, and the real files
will be unpacked without any nonsense around.

I'd prefer ._file, personally.

Me, too. Unfortunately, Howard decided the other way.

This still leaves the issue of Finder metadata, of course...

The ._file includes the Finder Info. What else do you mean?
