Well, I'd say the more probable it is for a particular application
the files are huge (IIRC, the original message spoke of gigabytes),
the more reasonable it might be to use some way of placing/extracting
metadata *without* reading the complete thing in.
There is a number of possibilities, like keyed archiving, using a
package instead of a flat file, or perhaps even using the HFS+
metadata (low-level API only, far as I know, and somewhat difficult
other OSen portability are the disclaimers; also, far as I know,
Apple did not release any hints of how to use and/or how not use
them: it would stand to reason in future releases HFS+ metadata would
be *automatically* indexed by Spotlight, but one just does not know :
