Personally I prefer the extended attributes because it's much tidier and sort of works the way it does on a real Amiga, where you have to resort to LHA-archiving the files anyway if you want to guarantee consistency when moving them across systems. But you're right there are only compromises and no ideal solution.
Another thing: AmigaDOS file notifications are not sent when modifying directory-based drives from outside the Amiga. I pointed it out in support.WinUAE but thought I would mention it here as well.
Thanks.
