I agree that this inconsistency is confusing, as are things like sequence-item outside an expression and sequence_item inside an expression. Perhaps if we do a major overhaul of DTML (e.g. changing it to an XML-ish syntax) we'll look for ways to make it more consistent.
I've been vaguely thinking about Next Generation DTML myself recently -- DTML is nice and powerful but it can get confusing in the corners. Coincidentally I've been reading up on XML as well. If you people get serious about doing NG-DTML I think people in the group would like to contribute/interfere in the design, at least I would. :) Am I right in assuming that one could use DTML and NG-DTML in parallel in the same Zope database, if one defined a NGDTML (ugh :) Document/Method product? That would be a nice way to do some experimental development. Regards, Martijn
