Topic: Mentioned Notes and Reposts

When referencing notes, clients should be mindful to not interpret any "e" tag as a reply. For example, if there is a reference to an "e" tag in the content: #\[0] then this is not a reply, but a mention.

If there is a single event mentioned, clients may interpret this as a Mentioned Note, aka "Quote Retweet".

#[2] pointed out that this implies you could implement "retweets" simply by setting the content to '#\[0]', referencing a single note.

This is somewhat informal for now but in branle-like apps if there are more than two e tags, first one should be the thread root and last one should be an immediate reply. middle e tags for note mentions.

Without this the way tags are interpreted will vary greatly and that might be bad for interop. But this simple rule is very powerful and allows you to pull the full thread and mentions.
