Man, you beat me to it! 
Anyway, just yesterday I deleted OneNote across all my devices because of lack of support. Now I'm going to re-download the iPad version and give it a shot. If it works well than I might give OneNote another shot.
The OCR is a nice touch too.

I though that it would be a slam-dunk for me to start using OneNote across my platforms until... I discovered that the latest version of OneNote for OSX requires OSX 10.10.Man, you beat me to it!

Microsoft giveth, Microsoft taketh away.

What!? You're right.
You know, I had been using OneNote on 10.9 as reasoning that Office:2015 will run on 10.9, but I guess the rumors are true...why Microsoft...
I think that the release of this function now is probably because Apple will be providing official platform-wide support for active stylus.
So excited about this, you have no idea.
I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 because I needed to be able to capture "digital" handwritten notes in a way I could make use of them on multiple platforms (Mac, iOS, Windows) and have access via the cloud. While there are some great note apps for the iPad (Noteshelf is my favorite), none have had good cross-platform two-way sync with cloud storage systems. A couple offer Evernote upload, but it's not quite what I'm after.
OneNote on Windows, Surface and Android allow editing of text, ink notes, OCR, etc. The iOS versions could always display the handwritten notes though I couldn't use a stylus to add additional text or diagrams.
Very pleased to hear it's been added to the iPad version. Not critical on the iPhone given the smaller screen size (even my iPhone 6 Plus is too small to really bother with writing on the screen).
OneNote is a great app and so happy it's getting good attention from Microsoft.

How strong are the rumours on this? Haven't really been following, but would be very happy if it happened.
There have been persistent rumors of an "iPad Pro". Speculation and wishful thinking have been swirling around. That's about it.
I'm hopeful enough that it will happen that I'm holding off upgrading my iPad 4 for a while.
