I also believe these were the original semantics, but they are difficult to
get around in a modern environment. Also of course this assumes that the
user is even using xterm. Perhaps there should be something like
SNOTES_TERMINAL="xterm -e"
And, if SNOTES_TERMINAL is defined, it is put under word

That would make the config do more than it is supposed to.
I agree that it makes sense to respect $VISUAL though.

SNOTES_EDITOR
SNOTES_EDITOR=${VISUAL:+xterm -e $VISUAL}

Better:
