That's but one of several reasons. The idea is that any tiddler can be
treated as an independent entity, addressable on the web as its own
thing. Each tiddler can be retrieved singly as HTML, Atom, JSON, or
plain text and as part of a collection of tiddlers in the tiddler's
containing bag or recipe. (If you're not familiar with these terms,
don't worry about it, but if you are curious you can read about the
concepts here: http://tiddlyweb.peermore.com/).

But, as you point out, the HTML representation's integration with the
rest of TiddlySpace is a bit weak...

...the lack of localization being especially noticeable. Now that
TiddlyWeb (the server underlying TiddlySpace) is fairly mature, it is
probably time to add support for localization.

Making that change is not as simple as it sounds: TiddlySpace is
created from TiddlyWeb, TidddlyWebWiki and a collection of more than
ten TiddlyWeb plugins. Each of those plugins needs to support the
standard TiddlyWeb API and available URIs. In standard TiddlyWeb '/'
is not a TiddlyWiki file, it's just HTML.

Therefore in order for tiddlywebplugins.atom (which is responsible for
creating the feeds) to support the style of links that you suggest it
would need a few things:
* to be configurable for the format of those links depending on
various things
* to be configurable per space in TiddlySpace

These things are possible, but will require some thought on how best
to make it happen. If you could, it would be great if you could create
an issue here: https://github.com/TiddlySpace/tiddlyspace/issues

Over the long run I think that investing the time in localizing
TiddlyWeb would be effort well spent. It's been on the roadmap for
TiddlyWeb since the early days, but the creation of TiddlySpace has
taken priority. If anyone has experience internationalizing Python web
applications, it would be good to hear from them.
