Can you explain the context a little more? System tiddlers are supposed to be generally hidden from view until one delves into the sidebar lists. > In my application I set out to reserve all tags for the user, so that all > tags displayed in the main story river had semantic meaning to the user.

I'd like to understand the motivation here a little more; system tags are supposed to be the solution to the problem you describe.
