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
