Well, I did have a go at a generalized implementation:

https://github.com/fge/java7-fs-base/tree/master/src/main/java/com/github/fge/filesystem/attributes

I have yet to document all this API, but I'm eating my own dog's food
and already implemented one (crude) file system over dropbox and I'm
on to the next now.

When this API is documented I'll share the link; I would love reviews,
of course!
