Yes there is. How is it that you think this could happen without
administrative input?

Unless I've missed something (could be, this is an old thread...)
nobody is talking about *default* TS stdWrap on USER. The idea is to
make stdWrap available from TS for the USER cObject as it is for all
the others, but any particular wrap would still have to be *added* by
individual site administrators. In this scenario, any 'double
application of stdWrap' would have to be performed more or less
intentionally by site admins, and so should not be any of particular
concern of extension developers.
