You might be able to make that recommendation with respect to implementations
that understand Extended Attributes (e.g. implementations of the Extended
Attribute specification). But how can we say that with respect to existing
implementations?  This implies that legacy implementations will treat
Extended Attributes like VSAs (e.g. ignore them if they don't understand
them).
