---------------

    The opening tag starts the block and the closing tag ends it. The
    closing tag has the same name as the opening tag with a slash
    preceding it. This is the same convention that HTML and XML use.

       I have to wonder if it's OK (or will eventually become preferred) to use singleton tags in an XML-acceptable
       format, such as <dtml-var parrot/>. Might be nice to mention that here, since XML was brought up anyway.

       DTML isn't even close to being XML-acceptable; if you want XML, you really should use TAL.
