It's been done.  (Not specifically for the NeXT, but for UNIX in
general.)  No, I can't offer any FTP pointers off the top of my
head--you might try asking in one of the comp.sys.mac.*
newsgroups.

Maybe NeXT will support filename.#info# in a future release.
(hint, hint)

Least effort?  (But that still doesn't explain why they went with
a variant on Plain Pair rather than Plain Triple.)  (Something
about never ascribing to malice what can be adequately explained
by stupidity?)  In any case, there are _multiple_ de facto
standards, and NeXT should (at the very least) provide something
like A/UX's fcnvt utility to convert between them.
