Because the tiddly wiki code calls HTTP PUT on its URL and then  
doesn't bother to inform the user if the PUT failed.

You were able to edit tiddlers and create new tiddlers even though it  
was read-only because the tiddly wiki code doesn't check for read- 
onliness before enabling the user to edit.

I think I'll set up a trac for the tiddly wiki code so that I can  
point at it when saying things like this.
