Mario,
I am not sure itty.bitty is a full snapshot answer. but snapshots are needed
I think snapshots with or without multiple versions can be used for the
following
1. Effectively displaying a static tiddler result for complex or long
tiddlers so it need not be re rendered on the slightest change. Primarily
for performance
1. eg Index to a large data set
2. Optional refresh like option 1 but (snapshot remains the same until
intentionally refreshed) could be used for publishing something "as at a
time or date".
- I agree CSS can add some complexity however standard css is honoured
in many cases, a method for users of more advanced css need to be provided
the methods.
- Also whilst versioning is desirable I think it is still valuable
without, and if versioning were available some circumstances would demand
the number of versions be limited.
Regards
Tony
