just out of curiosity, would it be possible to set things up so
whatever call chattr +d makes is mapped to adding this extended
attribute?  or would this be better solved in userspace (inside
chattr)?  

consistency is good, it would be nice if you can use the same commands
to accomplish things like this without having to worry about what
filesystem you have living under the particular file/directory.
