I discover only now that we have this framed/shaded thing. What is it supposed to be useful for?
This really surprise me. This feature is in LyX since LyX 1.4.0.
A note was initially supposed to be something that is not visible in output (or greyed out, which makes sense). What is the difference between a framed box and a framed note?
The appearance in LyX and the underlying LaTeX-code, see the EmbeddedObjects manual.
When for example word counting will begin to ignore stuff in notes and inactive branches (already numbering is not remembered in there) people are going to complain that LyX is buggy. I think we are mixing appearance and semantics.
Then we have to divide the different note types. Btw. could you have a look at the request to count characters, this seems to be really important in some fields.
