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

- move Tiddlers around using Atom feeds (post using Atom Publishing Protocol,
read as Atom feeds, search w/ OpenSearch)
- done
Something like this has already been asserted elsewhere in the thread,
and at least some portion of the participants has agreed to it in
principle. Which is why things then moved on to the question of how to
accurately identify tiddlers.
The sticking point on _that_ aspect of the discussion is when and
where to assign an identifier and what doing so means.
It's remarkable how familiar so much of this conversation is if you've
been through it before in other contexts.
You get people (I guess I'm probably one of these) who think that as
long as you can generate a good identifier all the rest kind of falls
out from being good about the web and existing protocols.
You get people who "believe" in XML and probably once thought XSLT was
going make everything okay and if we can get tiddlers to fit in that
world, all the rest kind of falls out.
You get people who lose focus from the original concept and start
talking about all the things that will be possible _locally_ if the
global functionality is achieved, distracting discussion from
actually achieving the local functionality.
