What if the journal is for an encrypted disk?  It would probably be 
desirable for the journal data to be encrypted in that case, especially 
if the stream was a socket to an offsite machine.  It might be necessary 
to store key data in the journal; depending on just how the encryption 
is done.

(Sorry if this sounds like I'm playing devil's advocate.  I really meant 
to ask this question earlier, but I didn't really (and don't now) have 
the knowledge to ask it in a more detailed/helpful manner.)
