I think most times when this feature has been discussed it has been in the context of btrfs. I think the current text in the technical specification doesn't got deeper on the subject partly because we are all a little on the fence for at what time we feel confident enough about btrfs to dare propose it as the default filesystem for the desktop. I spoke with the btrfs developer at Red Hat during a conference on the US West Coast towards the end of last year, and he thought that btrfs was ready for the desktop usecase, although he was not ready to recommend it for server use due to the (small) risk of data corruption.
Sorry but I disagree here ... data corruption is not acceptable on a desktop system either. A server usually have multiple backups (if administered correctly) while a desktop most of the time has none.
