The other thing to point out is that the tags of a tiddler are stored as a
field called "tags" behind the scenes. You can see this for yourself like
this:

1. Visit http://five.tiddlywiki.com
2. Click through to the "more/shadows" tab and open the tiddler titled
"$:/core/ui/FieldEditor"
3. Click the "edit" button to edit the tiddler
4. Locate the string "title tags text modified modifier" near the top of
the tiddler
5. Delete the word "tags" from that string
6. Click done to save the tiddler
7. Now edit a different tiddler that has some tags (eg HelloThere)
8. Scroll down to see the field editor and you'll see that the "tags" field
is now listed along with any other fields
9. Explore how the displayed "tags" field changes as you modify the tags
via the interface at the top of the tiddler, and vice versa

Best wishes
