Glad you noticed! I think I added that feature about three years ago. You can also just drag the URL icon directly into the notes list.
If you'd prefer that NV didn't preserve bold and italic, just uncheck
Preferences > Editing > Copy basic styles from other apps.
NV uses the same style-conversion rules when importing web pages as it does for any copied/pasted text.
I think I tried to use Markdownify a while ago and found it to be pretty unreliable for general-purpose HTML.
Be sure to push any new changes you make to github so that they can be included in the mainline branch (if they fit).
That's awesome.
I'm pushing all of my changes to my nv fork for now. ALT is headed in a direction that I don't think is appropriate for Notational Velocity (muddies the waters), though, so I'll probably be setting up a new repo with a new name in the future. I'll keep you posted.

You might want to be careful with that; if you make it a separate project you could have a much more difficult time merging-in future changes that I will be making to NV (e.g., better tagging and synchronization, important bug-fixes, etc.).
