notes metadata?

[Giuseppe Bilotta <giuseppe.bilotta@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

ok, this may sound a little odd especially with the 'notes vs
metadata' thread going on, but I was wondering: do we store _any_ kind
of metadata _about_ the notes themselves? If I'm reading the code
correctly, we have neither author nor date information about the notes
themselves, so we don't know who added them or when. Is it too late to
suggest that this kind of metadata be added to notes? Making them
full-blown commit-style objects is probalby overengineered and wrong
under many points of view (not to mention probably incompatible with
current storage), but maybe we can set up a convention that notes
SHOULD be in pseudo-mbox format? This would mean that when a note is
created, the template starts with a 'From ' line including the user's
name &  email and note creation date; when editing, the note is again
augmented with the new author name email and date. Of course the users
are then free do expunge the From lines if they don't want it (just
commenting it would be enough, of course). How does the idea sound?
