> 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).

Agreed. By the way, if we want the backend to automatically detect that the note is coming from the website, we’d probably want it to look for a referrer header rather than the user agent header. Even though we’d genericize that string, it would still distinguish this website from another Web-based client such as onosm.org (which makes its presence known, but still) or a standalone instance of iD.
