As with the classic TiddlyWiki, it will be possible for a plugin to
override the file saving code so as to target some other way of
persisting content.

I'm interested in the scenario of using HTML 5 Client-side Database
Storage API as a temporary cache for storing modified content prior to
syncing it back to a server.

I've also thought about using the the Database Storage API as the
"working store" of tiddlers (ie, the implementation of the "store"
object in classic TiddlyWiki).

Generally, all these technologies take the form of a client-side
accessible data cache. My conceptual problem with using them for
tiddler storage is that the modified tiddlers end up being stored in a
somewhat ephemeral way, living in the browser, and the user loses the
usual TiddlyWiki comfort of being able to reach out and inspect their
data at any time. However, there are clearly some interesting
situations (like Safari on the iPhone) where these are the only
available techniques for persistent storage.

Cheers
