Thanks Danielo, This sort of works. An unlabeled field shows up on the bottom. If you type into it, a labeled field appears above with the field and contents. In other words, the field you want doesn't show up as a field until you've type into The "default" attribute is ignored.
The hope was to avoid having the user remember to create the field every time. I'm not sure how this is easier than simply modifying one template and ... ta-dah! ... you're done. I guess the solution for TW5 is to roll your own new tiddler button, and then take away all the other "new tiddler" options. Thanks!
