More fundamental question, what is the function of type? (not just a 
question for note)

Type is generally used to key some processing of the text (include 
translation notes, don't include exegesis notes, include only divs with 
type = example).

Is  there a problem with specifying that for note, type is of type noteType?

I would remove noteType and simply define type for note to be of class 
noteType. Does that get the desired result?
