TJ,

There are solutions that support the renaming of tiddlers and I myself will 
publish a unique id alias soon. Many cases can be handled with the uni-link 
plugin. I think however this need for re-nameable tiddlers is something a 
lot of new comers ask for but the more experienced people do not see as 
very important because this is not normally an issue with a few specific 
exceptions.

I recommend putting this perceived need to the side and see how much it 
comes up.

Regards
Tony
