Initially, I actually designed giewiki to be delivered as XML + XSLT,
but I eventually went back to classic HTML mostly because of the flaws
in IE's implementation. You can still get the XML version with a URL
query string, though.

My point about UUID's was that strictly speaking, you really need to
know what it is that the uuid identifies, and that's a semantic issue.
I could imagine that a collection of tiddlers had the same value for a
named uuid, because either:

* they were different versions of the same tiddler.
* they originated from the same server or page.
* they were authored by the same person.
* or ... or ...

Not to deconstruct too much, my point remains that we should try agree
on two things:
1) What the tiddler-identifying id is named (simple).
2) What it means to have identified a tiddler. Not so simple. IMHO.

If, say, you receive a document that contains 42 more or less
different tiddlers having 17 different uuids, what can be deduced
about their relationships..?
A plausible interpretation would be 17 tiddlers, some of which have
several versions. You may of course choose not to accept such a
document. Or try to figure out which is the current version - but
don't assume that it's the one with the latest timestamp.
