True. But I was thinking about the file as it is stored on the server. 
If someone were to access the file and didn't have Rev to open it, they 
would have to look at it in a text editor or similar. In that case, none 
of the custom properties are readable if it is a password-protected 
stack. It's a crude type of protection, I admit, but it discourages 
casual attempts.
