Yes! Actually what would be needed first is a simple conversion 
mechanism of the text contained in a workspace to XHTML.

Or object wise: a simple WordPad like editor (sublcass of Workspace)
which reads and writes differen formats. Different instances could
then serve for keeping notes.

Yes, a flat-file format which can also be edited in NotePad is necessary
for not to be locked into Squeak.
