Hey, Jeremy — So, as mentioned in the OP I'm pretty leery of the "pre-boot" approach here. The modloader process <http://evanbalster.com/tiddlywiki/formulas.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Febalster%2Fmodloader%2Floader.js> uses quite a lot of $:/boot library functionality to identify and inspect shadow tiddlers as part of the patching process, and to generate the output plugin. I also worry that working on the pre-boot DOM would create incompatibilities with certain TiddlyWiki environments (but I don't understand this low level stuff very well). The current modloader can manipulate almost everything in the wiki *except *for startup modules and the modules they require, hence the request.
In most cases, bootloader modules (including modloader) are going to want to generate any output to $:/temp or similar, where they won't create persistent changes in the wiki. I expect we'll end up discussing in more depth during tomorrow's call.
