I guess as a 'universal disk format' for all operating systems, it is 
bound to be less feature rich than something tailored to linux. It was 
specifically developed with RW-media in mind and probably isn't at the 
top of fs performance for RAM-media.
UDF is incredibly feature rich.  The kernel implementation appears
buggy; I can crash the kernel using a loopback device.  I've intended to
go through the code for quite some time now.
