Not really. The attributes we are talking about here are DOM attributes, not tiddler fields. I did change the core ViewTemplate <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/blob/master/core/ui/ViewTemplate.tid>for the test and used the "outer" <div> the holds the tiddler-frame. That's the same one, that uses the class="tc-tagged-xxxx". I just used the "attribute selector" CSS feature <http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-sel2>, that seems to be well supported by all browsers. So there should be no compatibility problem, if we use it. Adding tiddler-field values to the DOM structure would be possible but I have no idea, what it does to TW performance. ATM I don't know, if the [attr] CSS feature is slow. ... So some more tests are needed. > Also, this would also make it possible to, in each tiddler, have a > dedicated *style *field (just like currently there can be a *color *field) > for quick styling of a tiddler without a separate stylesheet.

So it overwrites everything defined in theme style sheets. It should be the absolutely last possibility to style something and not the default. IMO it has the possibility to destroy themes and adds a lot of maintenance overhead. eg: once a <style> element is inserted in the DOM, it's close to impossible to change something with a standard class definition. The default should be class= and *may be *[attr]. But for the [attr] feature we'll need more tests. > A style field would also make it possibly to style easily via actions (a > button); it is just to "set that field".
