A comment to the paragraph below was recently added via http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/BasicObject.stx#3-60
---------------
Here we see that one DTML object, *standard_html_header* is
being called by the document that contains this code. In this
case, the evaluated contents of the first document are
*inserted* into the contents of this calling document. This is
a very fundamental concept in Zope and will be used throughout
the book.

The terminology used is inconsistent and confusing here. If I've figured it out right, this paragraph would
be much easier to follow if it read something like:
Here we see that a DTML object, standard_html_header, is being called by the DTML document code (?) above. In
this case, Zope inserts the evaluated contents of the standard_html_header object into the calling document
where it reads <dtml-var standard_html_header>. This is a very fundamental concept in Zope and will be used
throughout the book.
Since it's "a very fundamental concept", I think it should be spelled out more exactly. There still is some
vagueness as to what are the DTML object(s) and the DTML document(s).
