Yeah, I'd like to see the concept of conversion to other formats be
integrated right into Tomboy, so that we can have similar UI for
exporting to HTML/PDF/whatever, or importing things, and also
consistent APIs developers can use for things like sync.

Yeah, I have no idea about this.  Maybe some folks on the mono-osx
list would have ideas regarding keychain integration.

I'd accept a patch adding an abstraction layer that worked for gnome
keyring, apple keychain, and whatever works on Windows.
