No, no! This is *much* worse! Without a question, the words "document"
and "note" make, together, the most ambiguous combination known to man! A
lot of things are notes. Note covers a far wider range than personal
does--after all, you can have impersonal notes. Such things as office
memos, phone messages, shopping lists--all of these could conceivably fall
under "note". How about these categories:
text.personal
text.opinion
text.journal
...these should pretty much cover it, doncha think?
