I'm hesitant to stick my nose into this discussion, as I could not in
any way be considered a serious TW developer. But I did want to ask
whether there's been any thought about working on this problem from
the other end: trying to get browser development (Mozilla being
perhaps the most tractable?) to become conscious of TiddlyWiki and
other in-browser applications that rely on the ability to carry out
"insecure" actions.

It seems that the Microsoft model of providing "security" by simply
prohibiting the user from interacting with the computer except in
specific pre-determined ways is being somewhat broadly embraced. I
would hate to see the major browsers lock down so tightly that even
existing innovative technologies like TW are excluded, to say nothing
of limiting the possibilities for future development. It seems to me
that TiddlyWiki has some standing in the Web community and might be
able to influence the course of development in the direction of secure
models to ALLOW file saving rather than in a more prohibitive
direction.

Just my $0.02.
