My bad, I hope the fact there was no release yet allows us to revert
without concern.

I think pushing data into Tracker make sense if the format is
understood by several applications. Which is why i first thought "HTML",
and pushing there only the *representation* of the note. However in the
specific case of notes, XML seemed correct since Tomboy format [1] is
already understood by several applications, such as Tomboy, Gnote,
Conboy, Tomdroid, ongoing Macboy - and Bijiben. (In the XML case
however, we can notice if we stick to Tomboy format, both rich content
and metadata are to be stored.)

Sure, this is not the idea at all.
