I never suggested that setxattr(2) work, and if it did: I would suggest
that it silently ignore the setting of these special attributes. That
would allow naive copying of xattrs without causing strange behaviors.
It's already the case that there are filesystems for which you cannot set
all attributes and the copying of some attributes is nonsense (see
ticket:1228 which talks about some of those attributes for ext4).
