I notice two camps of interest, but you can proof me wrong. Javier, you 
don't like cluttering the notes field, J-S wants to use as much of maya 
as is available, includeing the notes field, and me, I'd prefere the 
notes field as well.

What about giving both the options, so the user of the plug-In can 
decide. The ovehead for the plug-in should be minimal:

Search for attribute osgDescription, if found put its content into 
corresponding osg::Node
Parse the notes field for <osgDescription> ... </osgDescription>, add 
all content between the Keywords to corresponding osg::Node

All of us would be sattisfied, and Javier, I promise you I'll create a 
beautiful UI for you :-)

What do you guys think about that ?

Cheers, PP
