Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I think since my site is known by my users, I can just remind people to use only my site to download my resources.
My concern was that it seems easy to bury a malicious code in a system tiddler, but I suppose one could put malicious code in a static html file, too. The other concern is that if someone put malicious code in a TW obtained from my site, and I later go and make changes to my own TW, then in a legal dispute the hacker could claim the malicious code was in the copy obtained from my site but that since then I have changed it, and I would have no way to prove it. Again, though, I am not sure how that would be more problematic than a plain html file. Just thoughts...
