It is indeed metadata -- they do not exist as files on HFS+ volumes (for Tiger and onward), but with Tiger cp, tar, zip etc. were all “improved” to store the metadata as these ._... files (and restore the metadata when unpacking on a Tiger machine).
Does this technote only apply to .DS_Store, or also to dot-underscore files? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301711
