Hi Dar,
Yes that's true, but who is going to password protect
a stack for a VCS project? A xml turn out wouldn't be very
useful either.	
(binary data destruction by password protection is already
a long standing problem for which the "save data in safe form"
step is indeed still necessary if password protecting)
