Just thinking out loud here .. Tiddlers contain far more than markup. There's wiki text with an embedded programming language and an implicit environment (the DOM) to consider.
Some tiddlers are pure JS - which would make it difficult to port to a non-JS system - some tiddlers with simple markup could be transformed into other systems/language. But the really beautiful ones would be tricky. As I see it this is insanely powerful - you could interact with graphics or the web audio API and do anything the browser could do which make it a very difficult moving target to hit. Having said that - a significant subset of tiddlers can be made with simple transclusion and filters - it might be nice to have a portable subset of tiddlers that did not do anything too fancy.
