Heck - at this point, resource forks are exposed as a "com.apple.ResourceFork" xattr with a large binary value. The primary remaining visible quirk is that they're also accessible via a magic path ("file/..namedFork/rsrc") -- the fact that the file system has a special way of storing them is irrelevent to userspace.

Ah, that explains why people in this thread are so confused between alternate forks/streams, and extended attributes!
