That would certainly be more general.  I don't really think it matters
for acl and xattr, since I think it's better to make them be the
default in the kernel, and then long term make noacl and noxattr
disappear as mount options altogether.

One reason for doing this is just to make the output of /proc/mounts
look nicer.  :-)
