To elaborate on chflags(2) vs ext2 flags, here is what each looks like in the toc:
ext2 flags:
<attribute>
<NoDump fstype="ext2"/>
</attribute>
chflags(2):
<flags>
<UserNoDump/>
</flags>
Clearly nodump has similar meaning between these two representations. The obvious desire is to have a mapping engine within xar "just know" that chflags nodump is the same as ext2's nodump. Similar with some of the immutable bits.
