Totally broken notes and saving in current git

Sat Jul 19 23:49:43 PDT 2014

I'd assume this is a show-stopper for a release, or a really *really*
bad design decision.

The notes are apparently now some totally mis-designed HTML doc-type.
This is *not* about printing (which I saw had some similar issue),
it's that the notes string itself is just fundamentally broken. I'm
trying to save Danielas certification dives, and the end result is
pure garbage.

The note for the first dive I have is "OW1". Except the git save ends
up looking like this:

notes "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN\"
\"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd\">
       <html><head><meta name=\"qrichtext\" content=\"1\" /><style
type=\"text/css\">
       p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }
       </style></head><body style=\" font-family:'DejaVu Sans';
font-size:10pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal;\">
       <p style=\" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px;
margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0;
text-indent:0px;\">OW1</p></body></html>"

I have no idea where this insanity started, but this is seriously
useless and complete crap.

The same is true of trip notes too.  WTF?

Easy to reproduce: just create a dive. Save it. as either xml or git
format, and look and despair at the disgusting mess.
