Jeremy,

Tiddlywiki is rich and wonderful now. It took me time to jump to tw5 from twc.

This history help explains to me a little of why this transition was difficult 
for me and where I perceive limitations. 

Given the context of this thread, perhaps I can express a hard to express idea.

Html is still quite usable in tw5 but as you know actions need to be mediated 
through widgets and I understand why. However there is a rich source of content 
and methods in html5 we cant make use of because of this. I do ask myself if a 
few widgets, kind of widget primitives, could open more html to us, html that 
depends on simple JavaScript functions,  For example a way to replace the 
onclick function, some ways to capture values resulting from html.

The idea is to perhaps enable the functionality available in html5 back into 
tw5 rather than the needs found in the gaps, driving new widgets into 
tiddlywiki. I have some understanding of the difficulties but since I am not 
expert in either html or javascript I find it hard to survey both to determine 
if this were possible.

For example could tiddlywiki respond to html submits and store the result? 
Accept the detail in a form into a tiddler and its fields. Since we can do the 
reverse.

No need to respond, just food for thought.

Regards
Tony
