A very quick Google research already revealed that your suggestion has any 
meaning _only_ for NTFS.

So that leaves FAT behind.

I could also imagine that Windows 2K does not even bother heeding those 
flags (it speaks volumes about Microsoft's documentation that you cannot 
find out if that is the case spending less than 15 minutes, and possibly 
more than that).

So I think your objection is irrelevant, sorry,
