This would allow for the use of the casual variation of the name of the person allowing for changing only the nickname field for the person to incorporate the nickname into all notes for the person. It would also allow RM to use the names in notes as part of its cycling between name and he/she to make the sentences within the notes to be less boring.
This would also allow for a change to place and place details in the fact to be carried through to any references in the note.
It would also make references to persons who share the fact without needing to change the notes, if additional people become sharees.

Name twice; he/she 3 times; name once; he/she once; name 3 times
As you can see, I'm not the best randomizer!

Good real estate may be based on location, location, location;
but
good sources are based on citation, citation, citation!

"[person:nickname] was a very skilled carpenter." would not look very good in the notes in a FGS, Individual Summary, Custom report, etc. even if we could use [person:nickname] in the note of a Narrative report.

I would rather leave the notes as freehand notes.
Why complicate things?

I can already hear the derision heaped on my head if one of my cousins imported a gedcom into their program and [Person: HeShe: caps] was in the notes. LOL
