I said this many times here, so let me say it again. The text of the note is 
not the same thing as the  highlighted text, i.e. text in the PDF that happens 
to be below the highlight. It's just that in Skim (unlike most other programs) 
we set the text of the highlight to the highlighted text (as best as we can 
figure that out.) What is exported is the text of the note.
