Hi Jeremy, thanks for the thoughtful replies.  Just signed up for a
TiddlySpace...I did not know about the project til now.

One last thought on (preferably modeless) WYSIWYG and wiki
compatability.  I imagine this has already been discussed, but it
seems most of the payoff for keeping wiki markup is that people like
to write in it, especially for certain tasks such as tiddlers with
macros and tiddlers that do other things than store someone's
hyperprose.  It might simplify design if there were an option to
create a wiki markup tiddler or a WYSIWYG tiddler at the outset and
just keep them separate.  I may be wrong, but I don't think there are
many if any cases where someone would need to go from wysiwyg to wiki
markup and would not know which type of tiddler to create at the time
of creation.  Then the (optional) translation can just be a
unidirectional wiki==> wysiwyg for people like me who would like to
get everything into html and stay there rather than having to create a
bidirectional translation.  Two markup engines, with a possible one-
way, irreversible translation of wiki to WYSIWIG would seem to be an
easier problem than fully bidirectional, transparent formatting.  Even
if bidirectional formatting remained the goal, a unidirectional
translation to WYSIWYG with the option to remain in wiki markup of
course reserved would be a solid fist step toward doing that, and you
could see if it was "good enough."  A little inelegant, but might give
everyone what they want with less work.
