Almost all of this discussion is way, way over my head. I understand -- or misunderstand! -- enough to make me anxious, though. My use of TiddlyWiki is not to make things look pretty. TiddlyWiki is not a presentation medium or tool for me. It is a way -- an extremely versatile way -- to create, store, organize, reorganize, and retrieve data -- in my case text. I also rely heavily on the ability to export export raw text, free of coding of any kind, to other applications for other kinds of processing, e.g., for further tweaking of structure, moving from what makes sense to me to what will be needed to help others understand, and for formatting. Anything that detracts from the ability to do those things would make TiddlyWiki less useful and less attractive to me, tending toward uselessness to the degree that it does so. Consider it a rant -- or perhaps better, an expression of anxiety, likely rooted in misunderstanding of flat-out ignorance.
