@Holgerr You make a very strong case why 1PW8 does not suit your situation. I would just like to make a couple of points that might be relevant to someone like you.
You say subscription software is useless if the business is shut down. But 1PW can be used if one has subscribed but let the subscription lapse. It has limited functionality (can't add passwords), but existing passwords can be viewed and copied, and the database can be exported for import into another manager. I don't know if AgileBits has ever stated what would happen if one's account has expired and there is no connection to any licence server, but I expect it would still work.
And AgileBits are beginning to consider the possibility of self-hosting a server (which presumably, would mean, not needing to use 1password.com servers except for account facilities). This is one of the advantages of 1PW8. They had looked at WEBdav a long time ago, and concluded that they could not make it work well enough. Now they can think of the options that people like you need, though of course this may come to nothing as at the moment they have not decided to do anything.
