As I've said many times by now: that text is NOT, I repeat NOT, the same text
as the highlighted text. It is a SEPARATE text contents property common to all
note types (that happens to be initialized to the highlighted text by Skim,)
and according to the PDF specs it is plain, unformatted text.
For more details search the archives of this list, I'm not going to repeat
myself any further on this.
