Agreed, except that BECAUSE the title is the ID, and each is unique, if I 
remove the date from the title I have 100 tiddlers all trying to share the

Also a good idea, except that my sorts look like this, and I am still 
working on figuring out "second order sorts"
<div class="tc-table-of-contents"> <<toc-selective-expandable 'Staff
