I wouldn't recommend using tags to mark docs tiddlers as read, for the reason you've spotted. A reasonable alternative might be to use a separate tiddler to keep track of the status of each docs tiddler. You might use a prefix like `$:/read/`, so that the status for "HelloThere" would be in `$:/read/HelloThere`. You could use the "modified" field of the $:/read/ tiddler to track when you marked a tiddler as read. You'd also be able to detect tiddlers that had changed since you read them.
