TiddlyWiki isn't a HTML page. It's an application. This wouldn't help.

I guess I wasn't clear enough. It's not a proposal, it's a 'could have been'.

Yes, it's an application but it's defined within a html page and run by a javascript capable browser.
From the home page of http://tiddlywiki.com/
TiddlyWiki is written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript .....

Looking at TiddlyEmpty.html line 1:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Looking at TiddlyEmpty5.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

All that effort to disable local file writes and all the subsequent effort to develop work-arounds.
IF ONLY the browser file write had been conditional on a WRITABLE element in DOCTYPE, sigh!
