Hi David, responses below:

You see/edit the text fields of the underlying tiddlers. You are editing 
directly and the changes are saved as you type. It would be easy to make it 
so you edit a draft and the changes aren't saved until you hit ctrl+enter, 
also allowing you to cancel without saving.

It is the text field of a tiddler, so anything goes.

I think filesize is less of an issue that one might think. I did try this 
with fields when I first worked on it, the key constraint there is that it 
gets very unwieldy and impractical if you have more than one level of 
children. Also, I don't think links in fields other than the text field 
count towards backlinks, do they?

It is in my setup but there is a lot of flexibility around how someone 
choses to use this. One way is to consider this a special type of tiddler 
that might not count towards working with filter operators for tags/links 
but lets you quickly create an outline and potentially then "flatten" to a 
normal tiddler. Used in a task manager the way that I do, this isn't really 
a concern so I have not given a great deal of thought.

There are significant limitations to all of this, but I think also the 
potential for some new and interesting ways to interact with and create 
content in TW.
