Well, what should work is this...
{tiddler.name|json.name.space}
Params may eventually be needed if you want your query to be more than a

Given the new markup, if there would ever be a query other than "give me
that node", it could look like...
{tiddler.name|json.name.space param "param with spaces"}
If a namespace were to have spaces it would have to be enclosed in quotes
like...
{tiddler.name|"weird json.name space" param "param with spaces"}
I'm not sure that I understand the syntax here.

The question is whether or not at some point this JSON query does more than
a simple lookup of a given node. But then, as you said, we might just not
be a about "managing JSON"... but who knows.
Seeing how at one point a desire to do the same with XML will most

Yes, I certainly understand that and do not at all advise doing any such
development.
I was merely suggesting to consider the possibility of how this might
eventually be modeled if anyone ever thought TiddlyWiki were a good tool
for doing that. So, just for completeness sake...
{XML:tiddler.name|"xml.name space" param "param with spaces"}

Have not, perhaps that's something for tuesday.
Best wishes, Tobias.
