This Engineering Notebook post explains why removing and restoring cell 
markup can not work reliably. The idea seems tempting. Why put up with all 
that cruft?


But this scheme has a fatal flaw: there is no *dead easy* way of restoring 
markup:


- Cluttering headlines with the required data won't be pleasant.

- Manually inserting such data (when creating new nodes) will be unreliable.

- Using uAs won't work because they won't exist for newly-created nodes.


The intuition is this. Leo converts an .ipynb file to an outline only once. But 
Leo will write the converted outline back to the .ipynb file many times.


*Summary*


Cell markup is essential. Without them, Leo can't reliably write outlines 
back to their .ipynb files.
