Use Case/Motivation

I use multiple journal software applications, and although I have not seen it in widespread use, the vjournal standard seems like a good starting point to bring them together: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.6.3

unsure

I want this, too. I am worried about the implications this has for encryption.

Thanks for filing this, @xeruf. I think there's some promise to this as a new journal type, or at least as a new data format. It's nice to fall back on standards rather than trying to support the big mess of proprietary formats out there or roll our own.

Thanks @Mikilio for the point about encryption. If this is implemented as a new journal type, I think it must support encryption. If it's just implemented as a data format, then its concerns should be unrelated to encryption as it would be compatible with both encrypted and unencrypted journals.
