Thanks so much for a perfect answer Jeremy. May I suggest that something 
addressing this issue be posted to the main website, perhaps even mentioned 
and linked to in/from "Hello There"?

And just to show my hubris knows no bounds, here's my top wishlist 
item<http://groups.google.com/forum/#%21msg/tiddlywiki/VkSfqHqo1M8/qd2S7Hio6IoJ>in
 the "external tiddler" family, I think it's pretty "low-hanging fruit" 
with a huge series of follow-on benefits:

I imagine something in core that would allow for the flexibility of these 
guys from Eric:

   - CreateTiddlersFromCSV<http://www.tiddlytools.com/#CreateTiddlersFromCSV>
   - 
TemporaryTiddlersPlugin<http://www.tiddlytools.com/#TemporaryTiddlersPlugin>

with feature/UI ideas from these as well

   - ImportTiddlersPlugin <http://www.tiddlytools.com/#ImportTiddlersPlugin>
   - LoadTiddlersPlugin <http://www.tiddlytools.com/#LoadTiddlersPlugin>

I'm currently on a kick of "plain text rules", not only for future-proofing 
the data itself, but also in line with the *nix philosophy

   - Write programs that do one thing and do it well. 
   - Write programs to work together. 
   - Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal 
   interface.

Beyond the immediate benefits of data sharing, replication, 
version-control, accessibility to your-local-toolset progs and script etc, *
any* database/server-based solution can obviously work with plaintext, so 
that's a "multi-engine" path from core to server-based even before 
implementing a plug-in architecture for data-storage.

Enough enough I know I know. . .

And thanks again for your game-changing contribution to open-source 
knowledge management. . .
