<My concern wouldn't be limited to other users, but the service providers, themselves. Many have a problem with this, or by others who would invoke authority to do surveillance such as law enforcement, even if it's only 'packet headers,' never mind data, itself. It's a real concern that I believe will become more widespread, especially by enterprises whose employees telecommute, as the awareness of accounts of privacy intrusion escalate over time.>

ASPs are not the only entities under the authority of the law. Do you share the same fear with your banking institution, for if served with a Federal subpeona, they must produce. I have found that many people fail to realize that a hossted app service is similar to any other service industry such as banking.

<I like the idea of key encryption between the user and their own virtual partition on the SP's server. Give me that, and I'm a customer... almost:>

Can I assume that you are almost a customer of NuoMedia.com?

I don't think key encryption in the fashion that you describe will be big, at least in terms of Yahoo big. The amount of computational resources would be tremendous. Many e-tailers cannot handle SSL for financial transactions when things get busy, imagine the case for every file saved, opened, modified and spell checked for a population of 40 million users if which 1-3 million would probably be simultaneous.
