UI-wise, these are boxes. Being and "environment" (markup-wise) and being 
a "box" (in the output) is nothing antagonistic. After all, minipages are 
environments as well.

And in the output, a framed box looks almost identical to a framebox. The only 
major difference is that the former can contain page breaks.

We are utterly mixing the ui semantics here: Just because some people are 
using boxes as notes, we have placed them there. You can also use tabulars 
and marginpars as notes. Would you place them in the notes submenu as well?

Maybe I am just thick, but I never noticed this. Instead, I used framed and 
shaded as ERT, because I thought we don't support this yet.
