Why not include TiddlyWiki or some version of it in the distribution? Its features are such that it is a very handy documentation tool, allowing editing and saving of HTML pages within FireFox using Javascript. Combined with the W3C's Slidy code and some styling generator like the one at StrangeBanana make it an excellent addition to anyone's toolset - PIM, planning, project management to mention a few possible uses. The search feature of TiddlyWiki made it appeal to me straight away.

I hear there are versions of TiddlyWiki that can compress or encrypt their content. Perhaps a version of the code could be used to store any documentation within the DSL distribution. A single instance of the main code (or some adaptation of it) should be enough to permit web pages to refer to it and make use of that code's functions.

There may be some big potential here.

How much space would it take up in the 50Mb limit of this distribution?
Could it be made into an extension?

A quick look at the URL given would show that TiddlyWiki is simply an HTML file containing some JavaScript. A tiddlywiki with no content is 105KB at the current release. Packaging it as an extension seems a complicated way of distributing a single file!

Since its HTML/text and java after comression it would be incredibly tiny!
