Maybe this is a stupid idea, but maybe this can turn out to be useful.

I know that we can use TiddlerLinks (or CamelCaseWords) to link to 
tiddlers, but I usually find this very unpleasing. I like some whitespace 
in my titles.

It just came to my minde that it's of course really useful to be able to 
link to tiddlers without having to type square brackets.

And then I rememberd the thread about UUIDs for linking in order not to 
break linkeage and the ideas I had about that and so here is my idea:

When we create a new Tiddler with a CamelCaseTitle, we will also get 
automatically a new field "display-title" (or some other defined name). 
This field will be automatically filled with the un-camelcased title (so 
"Camel Case Title" in this example) provided that the user did not already 
put something else in.

What TiddlyWiki now should do is not to display the CamelCaseTitle someone 
typed in his tiddler, but the "display-title".

So when I use TiddlyWiki,com as an example we have a "GettingStarted" 
tiddler.

This will now always be displayed as "Getting Started" (provided the 
display-title field was not changed.

This will also give the user the ability to rename Tiddlers by simply 
changing the display-title and to use "equally named tiddlers" by having 
the same display-title for different tiddlers.

It might be a bit confusing at first if a user starts to edit th (e.g.) 
"Getting Started" tiddler and the title is suddenly displayed as 
"GettingStarted", or if he clicks on a "Table of Content" tiddler and it's 
title is suddenly "ToC1", because the creator of the wiki chose to have 
several Tabel of Content"s.

But if we make this display-title be a special field (like tags) and 
display it near the title field, I guess this wouldn't be too much 
irritating.

So what do *you* as a user/developer think?
