It's a neat approach. I'd still worry about backwards compatibility: the DOM changes could break existing CSS rules, for example. As it happens I'm also not really in favour of hiding the tiddler lists. To me, they are a rather intrinsic part of the wiki experience that TiddlyWiki offers. I appreciate that they are not always relevant, but for people who want to share a TiddlyWiki without them they are very easy to hide with a number of different approaches, all of which are quite useful for a beginner to learn. >> I'm reluctant to add more "root level" commands to the tiddler toolbar >> in order to keep the default arrangement nice and simple. > > Well, it is highly relevant to the 3. but is it such to the 4.?

Even adding things to the "more" zone makes the toolbar more complicated and harder to parse. I think that the role of the core distribution of TiddlyWiki is to provide a robust, minimal core of functionality. The choice what goes into the core is oriented towards making it transparent and simple to see how TiddlyWiki operates, and not towards trying to provide everything that anyone might need. The beauty of TiddlyWiki is that we've got resources like TiddlyTools to balance the minimal approach of the core. None of this is to suggest that TiddlyWiki shouldn't undergo radical change, as long as the benefit in terms of features or ease of use is great enough. The work on TiddlyWiki5 is currently stalled in favour of working on TiddlySpace, but they both are significant additions/changes to TiddlyWiki. As discussed in another thread, I'm also keen to do a long overdue overhaul of the content of tiddlywiki.com. Better instructions for how to customise the toolbars would be exactly the sort of thing that we should include.
