The problem with every file being executable is because not every file can be executed :)
This makes the output of 'ls' a mess. Another example is when you double click a file in a desktop environment: How will the file manager know if it is supposed to open the file in a text editor or run it? That's why I also can't use the umask option, I may store some executable scripts, so what I need is to preserve the executable bit. I'm already read about the FUSE interface and it seems very simple, and since the EncFs codebase is small I will probably implement it in my own fork.
