Thanks, Thomas, for the thorough review.
Let me comment some issues:
1. TOC based on drag-and-drop feature makes of use the *list* field (or
other assigned for this field). That frees *tag* field from unnecessary
load and makes possible to build easily several TOCs associating them to
different list fields.
2. Heading autonumeration. I see as applicable and useful numbering the
tiddler titles only according to their numbering in the TOC. This numbering
could be used for displaying in the whole text, in the TOC and for
referencing to a particular section (means - tiddler).
3. Regarding your question: *What do you mean, Olegh, when you say: "The
object description is stored in field caption."?* I mean that a caption
(or a description) of an object is to be stored in *caption* field. It
is acceptable practice to append lists of figures, tables, etc.
4. I support completely inclusion of *citations* to the list of the
referable objects.
