Well, anything can be used as a uuid, the thing is, there needs to be
a protocol around communicating about tiddlers that tells you exactly
how it is defined, for example in the case of giewieki.

This protocol that I am talking about is not some serialization format
for tiddlers. Instead, it gives instructions on how to access any
resource that provides them by telling you what you can expect from
the resource once you do access it.


I've been watching this discussion, and it sure doesn't sound like a discussion about communications protocols (speaking as someone in that business).

I've been remiss in not jumping in earlier to point out that at least one obvious approach to a "tiddler-based communication protocol" is simply to
- define an XML representation of a tiddler
- start from the Atom schema
- move Tiddlers around using Atom feeds (post using Atom Publishing Protocol, read as Atom feeds, search w/ OpenSearch)
- done
