I agree on your first and second point. As for third, reformatting and updating some old notes is huge waste of effort for me. I don't want to treat everything as a 'live document' because it creates an implicit responsibility to keep all the ancient notes up to date. This is not realistic. I'm also more creative when starting note from scratch. Would prefer a workflow where a note can be corrected and refined over couple of days, and then enters read-only mode. The only way to correct and append to it would be to create a new note with better text, and optionally redirect any links to the new note.
