That's good stuff.

If you like to tag content for a menu to be automatic reflect the content, 
the built-in stuff in TiddlyWiki is right awesome.

Me, I tend to like control on my menus, adding menu items which then take 
me to the content.

It is a bit like one approach is bottom up, and the other is top down.  
(Not sure which would be which.)  Either way equally good, probably a 
difference in right-brain versus left-brain thinking.  Maybe more so the 
purpose of the menu.  Meh ...

That details thing I suggested, that was very rough around the edges, just 
to throw the quick thought together.  It could be oh-so-sweet with some 
proper design.  But only of value if you're of a 
"menu-first-towards-content" mindset versus "content-first-towards-menu" 
mindset.

Either way, so much fun !
