It appears that iso9660 standard supports EAs.
Looking at the standard, ECMA-119 2nd Edition, in section 9.5
it describes the Extended Attribute format.
http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-119.htm
However, I just looked it up a few seconds ago and 
so don't know to what extent it supports them.
And I don't know if anyone actually has implemented it.

BTW, the UDF standard supports EAs and streams.
(EAs are implemented as streams in IRIX' UDF implementation :)
