After reading Michael and John's comments, I informally polled a few folks on the core libs team. I amend my proposal to include a recommendation to avoid mixing styles in a class like Node where there are already a lot of existing properties and you are adding a new one.

For this PR, there doesn't seem to be a good reason to use markdown-style doc comments. I recommend using old-style `/**` block comments for consistency.
