followup to my message on udf..
from the same www.osta.org website,
they have a standard for metadata
for videos and pictures etc called MPV:

  MPV is playlist and asset management control
  file for collections of music, photo, and
  video files in any combination.  A playlist is
  an index or table of contents that specifies
  the location of files and the order in which
  to play them.  It is an open, multiplatform,
  free specification developed and managed by
  the Optical Storage Technology Association
  (OSTA).  A logo is available to communicate
  compatibility, such as between CD burning
  software and CD players.

Of course it's XML :-)

What is a bit baffling is that this is supposed
to be supported by all sorts of companies since
2002, yet this is the first I've heard of it.

Perhaps one of the standards bodies for which
membership is small change for companies and 
prohibitive for individuals (read oss developers)

PS. yeah I know this isn't a file system itself,
still it's interesting
