I don't think so. On the subject, what types of encryption would you
consider appropriate/sufficient/adequate? In the case of public/private
key encryption, how should AbiWord handle it (if/when it does)?
A thought: encrypting on export with author's private key, with a
URL for the author's public key - which gets loaded automatically on
import? Optionally vice versa. (Need to check the W3C's encryption
standard.)
