See that's where the 'ask me' setting comes in.. If an application can 
store encrypted vs not then its an 'ask me' then on a per data basis you 
can set it.

The multi level security might not be necessary, but this scheme can 
handle it just in case.  The best part is that if you don't want it, you 
don't use it.  And those that do want it, can use it and its all 
completley transparent to the applications.
