How to provide an HFS+ interface

[John Chandler]

MacFUSE might work, but I'm not sure.  Let me refine the
question.

Time Machine requires some kind of repository.  I believe I
am correct that it is sufficient but may not be necessary
that the repository be an HFS+ filesystem.

So I guess the question becomes, does anyone know how the
requirements of TM relate to what is provided by a MacFUSE
filesystem, even in rough Venn-diagram terms?
