Trish, I really like this solution. Anyone else remember when Evernote did the whole "you can append but not edit notes created on other platforms" thing? It was a PITA, honestly, though as with most of Evernote it was better than its competitors. I certainly wouldn't want my notes to suddenly be not-editable on Android, though I could put up with RTF formatting stuff in order to get that feature.
