I found a great article that someone, who I am not sure, is compiling on OSX/Apple metadata that is beyond comprehensive, not an Apple TechDoc and easy to read/understand. Since many of these topics come up, it seemed like a useful pointer.
The premise is that it seems that not all metadata is archived by every archiving tool available for Mac OS X, and tools that claim to be able to archive a piece of metadata may not do so with full fidelity.
[crarko adds: There's a lot of good stuff in the article; it's better you go read it for yourself (over at the Google Code Wiki). There are also some experimental results included. It's a great find.]
