That is really something I do not understand: why storing directory view information inside the directory itself???? 

It makes only sense when this view is the same for every user reading the directory. Otherwise, it is a bad design.

"Hidden" files, backup files I don't want to see, icon view, list view, background color... All these things that define the way the user want to see a specific directory, should be stored outside of that directory, in some sort of user-specific database or configuration file.

This mechanism should not prevent of using .directory or .hidden files, provided that it is clear that these files define the view for all users.

My two cents.
