@Jeremy - I did notice that the docs were available as a plugin, which is definitely useful, but I'm not sure that it will solve my problem. Since I will tag tiddlers from the docs "Read" when I have read them, I'll end up just overriding every shadow tiddler anyway. In my case I want to be able to tag tiddlers as "Read", but if that tiddler gets updated in the docs have a way to overwrite that tiddler so that I know that I need to re-read it and see what the updates were, without overwriting tiddlers that have not been updated.
@Soren - Yep there is certainly overlap between our respective problems. Please let me know if you find a solution!
