Springer, >From a design perspective for column headings I would stick to a standard fields such as column-heading with the value"🎾" on a tiddler called "tennis", or as the case may be a sport tiddler.
Already dynamic tables support alternate column names in a standard field/value and there is not reason in my view to tamper with fieldnames. I am sure there are reasons, but your suggestion to me, is like I posted previously, you may be about to hang yourself with the extra rope you have being given for field names. I would avoid this excursion unless you can establish a good reason otherwise you are possibly forgoing the ability to use your tiddlers, with the large library of plugins and macros that have gone before.
