Yes, I think at the time I was so thrilled that I'd figured out a way
to get permaviews working at all that I didn't pay enough attention to
the hideousness of the URLs. All that %5B%5C stuff is not pretty at
all.

On a related point, I carefully made the TiddlyWiki client code only
use the bit of the URI after the '#' fragment identifier, because the
specs seemed to imply that the fragment was for the client, and the
query string was for the server. I was particularly thinking that
people might need to host TiddlyWiki documents on URIs that they
couldn't control, and therefore might include random query strings.

Now that we've got TiddlyWeb, it has occurred to me that it might be
neat to give the client code (when run in serverless mode) the ability
to parse query strings itself. It would then be possible to give
someone a static URI for a permalink to a particular tiddler in a
TiddlyWiki document, and for that URI to survive the TiddlyWiki
document being upgraded into an instance of TiddlyWeb.

Cheers
