What's keeping us from using the java file/tiddlyfox to handle all the file stuff, or is this already the case? Also, the idea of a backstage is so you can do some stuff in case something goes really awry with the css and html, but maybe there is another way of doing that. What I liked about the backstage was that it was outside of the content wrapper, so any changes to the CW wouldn't affect it.
