Any reason for using space as internal delimitor when it could be anything
that's unlikely to be used in a tag (e.g. ASCII US)?
Although I had the same idea a long time ago, I decided that using some
kind of database [1] solves both the problem of xattr portability and
performance (no need to crawl the filesystem to get your tags).
[1] Would have to be anything with a daemon to avoid reading/writing the
db constantly and using a tree structure for performance reasons.
Said daemon could also do stuff like Windows -> POSIX and/or character encoding
path translation if more portability is wanted.
