Yes, understood. 

My reason not to use triple double quotes is that they introduce another 
level of complexity. This may lead to behavior that is difficult to 
comprehend. I like clear and obvious tools. In the best case an error leads 
to erroneous output just at the location of the error and not lines or 
paragraphs later. Please also consider, some tiddler's content may be 
considerably long. And sometimes my contents are copied and pasted from 
different sources and hand-crafted afterwards. So, whenever something is 
wrong in a tiddler, I have to *debug* it. And this is much faster if I only 
have to search for errors just at the location of questionable rendering.

In addition, from the point of view of my individual use cases the benefit 
of triple double quotes is limited. As far as I understood the original 
motivation was based on the different behavior of TWC and TW5 regarding 
line breaks. Same for me. 

But even if we put triple double quotes at the very beginning and at the 
end of a tiddler, we do not get TWC-like linebreaks. Instead we get 
unexpected rendering in between. Hence I will use <br>.

But of course I fully understand that other users might have other use 
cases and they might regard triple double quotes as helpful.

So it's all ok for me. The above was only to describe my motivation.
