Yes, it is definitely possible, and even fairly common.
There are many plugins that modify stored tiddler content (or rename
tiddlers, or even *delete* tiddlers), without any user-initiated
editing activity. For example:
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#QuickNotePlugin
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CommentPlugin
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#DiscussionPlugin
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#PasteUpPlugin
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#ListboxPlugin
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TaskTimerPlugin
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#PanelManagerPlugin
and many, many more...
So, it would seem that your proposed technique of tracking the start/
end offsets of the relevant tiddler content won't be reliable, unless
you can also ensure that no other tiddler-modifying plugins are
installed in the same document (or at least, make sure their
functionality is never triggered while your interface is being used).
