The `content` of a repost event is empty. Optionally, it MAY contain
the stringified JSON of the reposted note event for quick look up.

## Quote Reposts

Quote reposts are `kind 1` events with an embedded `e` tag (see [NIP-08](08.md) and [NIP-27](27.md)).
Because a quote repost includes an `e` tag, it may show up along replies to the reposted note.

## Generic Reposts

Since `kind 6` reposts are reserved for `kind 1` contents, we use `kind 16`
as a "generic repost", that can include any kind of event inside other than
`kind 1`.

`kind 16` reposts SHOULD contain a `k` tag with the stringified kind number
of the reposted event as its value.
