This sounds like something people would like. I agree that this is really,
really simple. But, I've seen people coming from Frontierland and wondering
why they need to include <dtml-var standard_html_header> when Frontier
automatically includes headers and footers...

An STX_Document class is also useful because otherwise you need to make a
separate method to render the doc out to HTML, which seems a little hokey.

Aren't ZClasses great?
