As you noted, references are based on use of another tiddler title 
contained within tiddler content.  Thus, if TiddlerA contains 
"[[TiddlerB]]", TiddlerA is a reference for TiddlerB.  References are 
gathered automatically, based on content.  In contrast, tags are explicit 
keywords assigned to a specific tiddler.  These tag keywords *can* be the 
titles of other tiddlers.  For some applications, people tag one tiddler 
with the title of another to define hierarchical "parent/child" 
relationships between the tiddlers, but tags can be *any* text that is 
meaningful for your use-case, not just tiddler titles.
