I see a problem here that has not been addressed by either a
filesystem-level or non-filesystem-level solution.

In most circumstances you could divide non-albod-aware programs into two
classes:

1) Those that should get a single-stream representation of the albod
when
they open it.
Examples: cp, ftp, rcp, compress, tar

2) Those that should just get the default stream.
Examples: vi, xv, cc, lpr

However in a lot of cases it is not at all clear which of the above is
appropriate.
Examples: sum, cat, mail (attachments), grep
