'k ... now, you have a 'proof-of-concept' already, using FUSE ... how much more 
would be involved in the kernel module?

I'm just wondering if it would be time better spent polishing off the FUSE 
implementation and pushing that for now, get ppl deploying it, testing it, etc 
... and then work on the 'performance enhanced kernel module'?

Then again, from the other side of the coin ... what are the chances that a 
kernel module would get into the main stream distribution vs the FUSE module?

As a stop-gap, have you considered submitting a TDFS port, to give it a bit 
more profile?
