Thanks Jeremy, insightful answers. I will answer your multi-record specific answers in the original thread in twdev [1].

I mean, if you only need to change links from italic to bold, it makes no sense to rewrite the entire div containing the tiddler. > In the case of tiddlers, in TW5 there's a MIME type to identify the > content type.

YES! That's what I mean! Finally :P That's what Wikispaces does and I think it's the best solution. By FAR. Even if it is more difficult. That was my whole point of starting this thread. I mean, the whole multi-record thing is a complicated issue, but this is just obvious. Obvious I say! Well it depends on whether wikitext is going to stay FULLY supported by all of the plugins. If it is, then it is a non-issue, because - users that like wikitext better than wysiwyg will stay with wikitext - users that prefer wysiwyg over wikitext won't mind the html. But if it isn't... Well, I'm glad you're are at least giving it some thought.
