true, an application could request getxattr(fh, "filesystem.last_backup", 
&data, length) ... but the names would have to be standardised as well as 
their content.

My Linux <sys/xattr.h> gives definitions for the [gs]etxattr's but i 
haven't found any reference yet to the defined names and meanings. Even a 
google didn't help, but i'll search on.
