Hmm, never heard about it :)

But I assume that -- at least in terms of network security -- having
the WebDav server below a HTTPS layer is enough. This would at least
put a layer of security for when I'm syncing between devices (in this
case OSX<->WebDav<->MobileOrg). I know, however, there might be other
holes or someone might even me able to just sit in front of my
computer and fiddle through the org text files, so that might be a
good use-case for org-crypt.

Marcelo.
