Hey Tony,
That is a totally reasonable and sane approach. I'm just too darned set in
my ways/thinking (stubborn, crotchety, pig-headed) to go there. Maybe too
many years of making sure Oracle database tables always use automagic
internal sequence numbers as primary key values because primary keys based
on real-world "business values" are often brutal headaches waiting to
happen.
When I develop the courage, maybe I need to create some kind of mechanism
so that a non-existent #tiddler URL reference triggers a
tiddler-name-change-list lookup (something that automagically gets updated
upon change name of any tiddler, but still allow edits) to redirect the URL
to a tiddler via the new name.
Boys oh boys, I'm going to need to let that ferment (slow-cook, dry-cure
...) in the back o' me sponge for a while ...
