David, I will look at the approach you suggest, Another option, may be to use the tiddlywiki upgrade mechanism. It works to protect you from system tiddlers.
You can actually use the upgrade process even with the same version. Basically you drop your wiki on the big upgrade icon, then click to save, and save over you original wiki (if you have a backup for safety. What ever solution we find, do consider the best place for us to document the process, I think self documentation may be the way to go. If the import process detected such a thing happening, ie importing system tiddlers perhaps it could provide a note to guide users. Then we dont need to depend on them reading something somewhere to learn.
