Remember, in WAFL all metadata lives in files. That includes directories.
That's not unique to WAFL - UNIX file systems have always done that, and FAT and NTFS do that as well.
By "that" I meant" having directories be files - having all metadata (well, almost all metadata; there's one block in WAFL that's not in a file, which is the block that lets you find all the metadata) in a file isn't done by most UNIX file systems, although the Episode file system used with DFS might have done that, and I think a significant amount of the metadata in NTFS might be in files as well.
