I'm not sure about CHM, but it sounds like an interesting idea.

Agreed!  TiddlyWiki does indeed have a lot of data models:
titles, tags, fields, slices, transclusion, links, etc, etc and
the possibilities for mapping and consuming other formats
and data models are fun. Sometimes the biggest challenge
when mapping, is choosing between the possibilities.

If you haven't yet encountered it yet then take a look at the "adaptor"
mechanism through which TiddlyWiki can synchronize with other
TiddlyWikis, RSS, etc, etc on the Web and from local files.

There are a number of adaptors which led to TiddlyWiki being
integrated with MediaWiki, SocialText, Confluence, etc.
There are a few examples amongst Martin Budden's contributions:

You might get a better response to that kind of question on the main
TiddlyWiki group, but suspect as with your DITA question, the answer
is probably you should experiment and report back. I'm certainly interested
in particular to lear what problem you are trying to solve.
