You just coined a new term, I think.  Nice.

Yes.  As a first step, improved JSON handling would help the ecosystem. 
That is, TiddlyWiki's "shallow" parsing of JSON structures needs improving, 
IMO.

Javascript isn't going anywhere (not for a long time, anyway).  Everything 
that happens in TiddlyWiki is marshaled by/through Javascript.  *JSON* (as 
Javascript's native data interchange format), is (should be) therefore, the 
"currency of choice" for any Javascript ecosystem. Indeed, just as it is in 
TiddlyWiki right now, but *moreso*.

How that might be exposed to the masses to get back what you're asking for, 
I'm really not sure.  Maybe (*maybe!*) some JSON-defined ASTs, providing 
the mappings of terms-to-productions (yes, even regexes) would work?

Not sure I know what this means... what are these "simple systems" you 
refer to? Examples?
