No need. It appears I'm a veritable moron, with apologies to the Emacs folks.

2 lessons I've learned today:
- DON'T test this stuff in a *scratch* buffer (seriously...)
- DO consume sufficient quantities of coffee (IOW, org-encrypt-entries
  doesn't encrypt entries unless they're *tagged* to be)

No worries, it's buffer-local.

And I've now changed the default to "ask first, shoot in the foot later".

"I should send my patch" comes to mind :)

Traffic allowing (lots of sweaty tourists on the road),
it should be there in T-10sec.
