Items Notes is always edited and stored as compressed RTF. It is accessible in various ways (edit in Notes pane, print, export as RTF, search on keywords or text, show text in column of Related Items pane, etc.).

Item Text is the string text associated with the details of an item. It's source can be RTF (for Text items), HTML (web pages), PDF files, etc. Regardless, the underlying data is stored compressed in the database. Item Text, the attribute, is the string text for the item's details. It is also available in various ways in UR (displayed in the detail pane according to its document type, edited externally as a document, search on keywords or text, show in Related Items, export as raw text, document, RTF, etc.).

Excellent - thanks heaps for your prompt response.

You commented "...Item Notes being accessible in various ways...show text in column of Related Items pane... Sure, Item Text & Notes can be selected as columns however (the first line of) their contents doesn't seem to show. This is not a big deal, I hadn't even considered showing those attributes in a grid until testing it a moment ago. I wouldn't change the program - just be careful not to boast that you can show Item Text & Notes as columns.
