Not through the web interface itself, as far as I can tell, but there's an RSS 
feed of messages that might do the trick.  Unfortunately it points to the whole 
thread, rather than the individual messages.

Personally, I don't think it's critical. After all, you can't create a snapshot 
via NFS either, but we have snapshots.  Concepts such as administrative ID, 
inherited directory characteristics, etc. have had great success in file 
systems such as IBM's GPFS and Sun's QFS, as well as on NetApp's systems. For 
that matter, quotas aren't really in NFSv3, but nobody seems to mind that UFS 
implements them.
