You don't need to fake it, because all DTML objects _can_ be passed arguments.

<dtml-var "aMethod(aMappingObject, aClient, arg1, arg2...)">

'aMappingObject' is a mapping containing the current 'namespace', or the namespace you want this method to use. This is often '_' (the current DTML namespace)

'aClient' is an object you want to provide the namespace for this method. This is often '_.None' (no client object)

They rest are all keyword arguments. This is the most common usage:

<dtml-var "aMethod(_, _.None, bob='uncle')">

Note the double quotes, they are important.

<snip> Are MY EYES deceiving me? I've ALWAYS thought it was: <dtm-var "aMethod(_.None,_, uncle='bob')"> Note the variables, they are very important :) IIRC, I'm pretty sure I got this from either you (Michel) or Kevin Dangoor in this mailing list a long while back. Maybe its time somebody put this more prominently in the docs, cuz it sure gets asked a lot, and I think there should be one "official" way of doing this ;^).
