You know... index_html could be an image, or anthing that a browser can render, and it'll still work as the default object that zope calls. The previous note on this, below, is not correct--aside from acronym. Richard

I think that the previous posts on this subject have mixed up two different thoughts, and I would like to clearly separate them.
1) Should index_html BE a DHTML document or should it be a DHTM method?
2) Should index_html USE DHTML methods?
On number 1) it needs to be a document, not a method. It will be requested from a browser and needs to have its own context, including the REQUEST and so on, so it needs to be a document.
On number 2), index_html may very well use DHTM methods as a convenience to avoid cramming all the code into one page, which would also prevent any reuse of that code.
Jan Sew, does this answer your question?
Cheers,
Tom P
