My point is not about removing anything related to LaTeX syntax. I'm
fine with a \cite{...} (although I think [[cite:...]] may be cleaner) as
long as it really is accepted by most major export back-ends.
But I think accepting raw commands like \vspace, \hfill and al. is not
necessary (as long as there's still a way to send them to the export
back-end). We shouldn't trick users into thinking these commands will be
obeyed in any situation.
Moreover, I don't think that they belong to an easy and fast to type
notes environment.
