Of course! That completely slipped my mind from the beginning. Here's
a general listing of the txt2tags markup:
http://txt2tags.sourceforge.net/markup.html

It has some formatting in common with tiddly.  Note that the linked
document doesn't cover a popular beta markup for "tagged text":

''' a full line of <b>tagged</b> stuff.

'''
a whole block of <b>tagged</b> stuff.
'''

a few words on a single line of ''<b>tagged</b>'' stuff.

Tags are functionally equivalent to <html></html> markup in tiddlywiki.

Another confusing markup is "raw" which uses " instead of ' and simply
bypasses the txt2tags parsing of text- though any tags inside are
hidden from the output document. RAW wouldn't convert **bold** to
<b>bold</b>.  RAW would still convert the input text <b>bold</b> into
&lt;b&gt;bold&lt;\b&gt; , thereby "preserving" the output text.

My biggest concerns are the table syntax and the img/url syntax.  I
think I'll be leaving the tiddly table formatter intact and see if I
can manage support for basic txt2tags table functionality.  The same
for img/url syntax- though their syntax is so very similar that I
don't know if I will be able to have formatters for both
tiddly/wikiwords AND txt2tags img/url markup.  In that case, I would
leave the tiddlywiki formatter in place. I don't think I can fully
replace either tables or img/url markup without having to replace
most/all of the shadow tiddlers. The same with <<macro>>, but
in-general any markup that has no equivalent in txt2tags will be left
in place.

I may end up with an odd pidgin of txt2tags markup for all of the
"simple" text formatting things, and leave tiddly's markup alone for
the more complex/background stuff, but this is mostly intended to be
an easy plugin so that I and others like me who are used to the
txt2tags markup can use tiddly with minimal modifications to an
empty.html tiddlywiki.  If I did a full replacement, I'd probably have
to keep track of tiddlywiki's development and modify my plugin much
more frequently- maybe requiring I make a derived tiddlywiki
implementation instead of a simple plugin! All for much less "reward"
in the form of markup compatibility.
