Very intersting. You may want to take a look at my patch  on 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3212 which was never noticed by any 
developers but adds the option to hide files based on a glob patterns instead 
of just dotfiles. This is against KFileDialog & KDirLister rather than KIO 
though.

This is a good idea- but it could cause some confusion among users who only 
expect only dotfiles to be hidden. I also don't know if UNIX drivers even 
support reading the "hidden" attribute from FAT filesystems. If they don't, 
then there is no real reason to have yet another UDSAtom type, and we should 
concentrate on KDirLister instead.
