I'm not sure what you are refering to. We've considered for some time allowing something like:

<dtml-var a/b>

meaning "insert sub-object b of object a".

This is a good idea, but we haven't agreed on the semantics of the '/'. Some people assume attribute access. Others expect URL traversal, along the lines of what the publisher does. Others want URL traversal *and* publisher-style calling.

So make that a parameter in the dtml-var call: <dtml-var a/b Semantics=url> and follow up with some shortcut tags: <dtml-var-url a/b> or <dtml-url a/b> etc.
