Yes, this is just what I'm thinking too, though I'd like the option of binding different CRYPT tags to different keys or passwords. So, I could have WORK_CRYPT, HOME_CRYPT, etc., and each would have its own separate protection. This would allow multiple people to have their own private regions within the same org-mode file. allout.el goes a long way toward providing all of the above, I just wasn't fond of the mechanism (I tried porting it straight to org-mode one day, then stopped). For one thing, I want to use my GnuPG public key for encryption, not a symmetric cipher. That needs to be configurable. I should be able to create an external module for this that does not affect org.el at all, but just adds keybindings to org-mode-map and after-save-hook.
