| One wonders how long it will be till someone finds an error...
It's a continuous battle, of course.

One noticeable thing is the complexity of the procedure.  I suspect human 
error will prove a more likely cause of leaks than the actual mechanism,
which appears sound.

There are commercial tools available that strip metadata from Word
documents.
I'm surprised no one has done a "redacting workbench" yet.
