> storing just the user-agent string alongside each note

I'd tweak this slightly, to say that we can store a "created_by" attribute, like many apps supply with their changesets. We shouldn't store actual HTTP user-agent strings, since they can be considered personal information (e.g. revealing the version of the OS I'm using on my phone).

I realise that there are some usecases (like created_by) where storing an immutable kv attribute list (ala changesets) is sufficient, and then there are other usecases where people want to store versionable kv attributes (ala nodes) so that they can be subsequently altered.
