Well, yes. but that's the point, in my case. For my use-case if would
be far preferable to just use .skim files and not any EAs at all.
Since skim has the ability to save things as either EAs, .skim files
or pdfd's, would it be possible to make that a preferences option?

This is what I found on the Dropbox forums:

"The extended attributes being synced are specified by the DropBox
devs. The Skim devs should get in contact with them if they would like
some of their attributes synced."

So maybe you could drop them a note.
