I don't believe that an MLO implementation in HTML5 will *replace* the three 
platform-specific apps, for the reasons outlined by Chris. But I believe that a 
subset of MLO functionality could be found that would be viable to build as an 
RIA, that would be useful to MLO users who are away from their devices or that 
are using a windows phone, raspberry pi, chromebook or other unsupported device.

But the idea of building a robust encryption capability into an MLO/HTML5 is 
frightening. First of all,  it's hard to do.  Facebook incorporated has poured 
a lot of resources into encryption for WHATSAPP and according to several 
reports they still haven't got it right. Meanwhile,  they have attracted a lot 
of hostile attention of law enforcement people. It's not just a matter of 
invoking a cryptographic function.  There's the question of where and how keys 
will be safely stored (especially challenging for an RIA), distributed,  
changed and revoked.

I would rather follow the suggestion that Trish P made earlier in this thread. 
I will keep two profiles. Any task involving sensitive data will go to the 
secure profile which will sync via wifi and will exist only on my devices. 
Tasks without sensitive data will sync via the cloud, and someday I hope to use 
MLO/HTML5 as a user interface to the cloud data.
