We already do that in Jamming (Diverge and Converge) using only HTML.
Of course, selecting the notes in KB must be be done in some other way.

Tarmo mentioned creating individual links between the notes. How do we
make sure that there is no confusion between personal and common links?
One specifies only common links when creating a new note and personal
links can be edited any time?

Would the annotation of the links be useful? Or some pre-defined 
(editable?) set(s) of "roles" for links?

Let's add to the list of bad words (SVG, Flash, etc.) two more:
frames and VRML/X3D.
