Yes, it supports multiple data streams. Just like in NTFS you can store 
the security information in "invisible" file objects.

Supported by using the plugin-api.

How is this implemented in NTFS? I thought that offline storage is just 
an ordinary file with a special attribute flag set?

It also supports atomic commits and journaling.

I believe that it's easy to implement all required features using 
Reiser4 because it differentiates between names and objects. We should 
be able to use objects without names.
