What may or may not be done in this matter is irrelevant.  There is an
encryption method which will generate English output from any arbitrary clear
text.  So how would anyone ever know such and such file is an encrypted file?

Second, I could write a general purpose file utility which has no explicit
encryption capibility in it, but which can be caused by the user to act like
an encryption program.  Any binary editor satisfies that criterion.  All the
user has to do in this extreme example is do the encryption by hand using the
editor.  A more elaborate editor will assist the user in this process and
speed things up, but will still be a general purpose file utility.  A still
more elaborate file utility will automate almost all the process, but will
still be a general purpose file utility and will require just a little push
from the user to do encryption.

No law can draw the line.  Therefore no law can exist.
