Wow, the expectations on TW5 are huge, these are shiny perspectives.
At what state is the development now?

What do you mean by "coded safely and reliably"? (ok, perhaps this is
not a question to discuss without an example..)

Do you mean that the server would be needed once -- to generate those
html files so that one can publish them in a DropBox, -- or rather
during the process of browsing? What's the role of the server?

Another thing which is unclear for me in this aspect is the
following.. the most direct quesion is this: will it be possible to
open any set of tiddlers in a tab of a browser, or instead there
should be some pages, each containing some tiddlers and for each
tiddler its container-page should be opened in a new tab?

sure, it's not an issue, even if new plugins are added

Using a tag for each "real data" TW file, I "pulled" the updated into
each
one, using Eric's importer based on that tag.

I reckon such an approach would be relatively easy to support and
automate,
if not in core, then perhaps by a "plugin manager" plugin.

this is rather unclear for me. Why did you need some tag if the
central repository contains only things to load anyway? What
"importer" did you use? (and is it possible to set the thing so that
certain TWs wouldn't import, for instance, formulae-generating
plugin?) If you provide more details, it would be very much
appreciated.
