These are good questions, Morris.
However, they're very jQuery-centric. I was thinking of a (still 
somewhat vague) bigger picture - so in that context, jQuery might be 
considered an implementation detail. (Nevertheless, the jQuery 
integration was a catalyst for reviving this longstanding issue.)

In terms of simply making jQuery functionality available (e.g. for
plugins to use), there's not much of a difference.
However, there are quite a few areas in the TiddlyWiki core which could
be refactored to make use of jQuery, at which point integration is of 
course vital.

There's a significant difference; TiddlyWiki plugins are for end-users,
while jQuery plugins provide developers with functionality (code) they 
can use when building applications (such as creating a TiddlyWiki plugin).
So I don't see any such conflict here.
(Also see the earlier discussions and announcements on jQuery integration.)
