[Another solution might be to digitize and encrypt your sensitive
documents and correspondence (think Mac OS X File Vault) in a way that
would _by default_ render them inaccessible when you die and take your
knowledge of the passphrase with you. Of course that strategy is a bet
that our understanding of mathematics doesn't radically change in the
near future, but it's still a privacy-protective approach that may help
to solve the puzzle Jim poses. --Declan]

Declan,

Inspired by the original post and wanting to elaborate on my comments,
I did a more extensive analysis on my MauledAgain blog at
http://mauledagain.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_mauledagain_archive.html#11048677

so those interested can take a look. It's an interesting intersection
of pre-digital law with digital law, both obscured by clouds of doubt
and uncertainty.
