1) You still have to trust the server where your ownCloud is running.
2) external storage is about the only valid point I see for using server
side encryption.
3) If someone has a solution for client side encryption which doesn't
break WebDAV and/or browser access to the files, I'd really like to hear
about it.

Cheers,
Daniel

(It's not possible yet but) files would be encrypted on your ownCloud server, and then stored on the external storage encrypted. This would mean you could extend your owncloud storage using external sources and they don't have access to your files.
