AFAIK, the key ID is only needed for encryption. The encrypted text
will contain a pointer to the key needed for decryption.
Therefore, I suggest that we do this:
- Have a defcustom for the default key ID to use (I think it will be
very common that you'll use the same key to encrypt everything)
- Allow overriding the key ID in an inheritable property (if you need
to encrypt a heading using a different key than the default)
- Use a tag matcher to specify headings to encrypt (another defcustom
that will be used to find headings that should be encrypted
before-save)
- Encrypt everything under the heading, including properties (even if
the property has the key ID, it won't be needed for decryption, so
the entire contents can be encrypted)
Am I missing anything?

I had a private conversation with John, and he's completely open to me
putting the finishing touches on org-crypt and getting it included in
the org distribution.
Are there any org-crypt users out there that want to throw in their
$0.02?
