I would also be very interested in this, to access and export somehow
the user home and not some separate data dir.

maybe if an app could generate rsa keys (in owncloud user location) that
could be added to the actual user .ssh/config for localhost user connection?

It would be ideal if the storage can be moved to each user home dir and
just great if each apache instance started by owncloud could change
credentials to the user ones.

Thanks!
