I think Web Notes (in the Rev docs) is a very slick "showcase feature"; it shows us what's possible, and the content made available through it can be of benefit to many.

On the other hand, there is nothing to assure that Web Notes info will have value. No one controls what gets published in Web Notes - there is apparently no editor or administrator. Anyone with access to Rev (and the internet) can directly publish anything they wish, accurate or otherwise.

If Web Notes is meant to facilitate doc improvements, uncontrolled publishing can be a problem in the long run. If bad info is mixed with good, then we (Rev dev folks) must mentally "filter" the notes when we read them to find the good info. If it's a hassle, I suspect their viability will diminish.

If Web Notes were a front-end to a managed Content Management System, it would be an entirely different story.

(I'll still be using Web Notes for now.)

My $0.02.
