Nils Bruin has addressed most of the points I was going to make, but I did notice one minor thing in testing the new notebook - it actually effects the old one too:
If you have a comment with a question mark, the question mark gets parsed by the help system. I consider this undesirable behavior. For example, the line # Is this a bug? has output: No object 'sh.bug' currently defined. ...which certainly isn't what I would expect.
