Minor nit, it was Information Hiding and not Data Hiding (makes it easier to 
find via Google).  The ref via Citeseer is 
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.46.2370.

I've run into a similar issue with threshold schemes, in collaboration with 
someone else we sat down to think about a standardised data format and 
(eventually) API and (even more eventually) UI for managing this, and found 
that just trying to frame the problem ended up creating a pretty good argument 
for why it wasn't practically solveable.
