I strongly encourage people to work on what interests them, so if this 
interests you, go for it! Seriously! Have fun with it!

Here's why it doesn't interest me: it's another attempt to turn a 
steganographic system into a cryptographic system. History has shown 
this to be generally unwise. Instead of doing everything in one pass 
it's generally safer to encrypt what needs encrypting, then send that 
over a steganographic channel.
