      Extend ODF 1.2 document encryption with OpenPGP support, via transclusion as defined in https://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xmlenc-core-20021210/

      Description

      Currently ODF supports password-based encryption, using a user-provided string of characters to encrypt an AES session encryption key.

      That is not ideal in the context of sharing documents securely with wider audiences, since one always needs a secure sidechannel to distribute the passphrase.

      This proposal builds on top of https://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xmlenc-core-20021210/ for XML encryption, and essentially extends the ODF manifest markup with a few nodes to denote OpenPGP key material plus transport encryption for the session key
