#: Is there any reason that the special directory entry could not retain
#: the uid & gid for this special case of inode data?

Gid wouldn't be necessary; uid is necessary due to the constraints of
a sticky directory.

Personally, I still think that Yet Another Type of Directory Entry is
a worse abomination than Yet Another Type of File.  POSIX blew it in
this respect:  If you decide to change directory structure from what it
is currently, all you do is add overhead.
