The index_html resides in the ZClass, so <dtml-var standard_html_header>
is already included automatically. People won't see the inclusion.

Why not use a simple Document ZClass and, given a property content_type
of html, stx or txt call the following from index_html ? (Could also be 
done via subclassing from generic Document ZClass).

<dtml-if "content_type=='html'">
     <dtml-var content>
<dtml-elif "content_type=='stx'">
     <dtml-var content fmt=structured-text>
<dtml-elif "content_type=='txt'">
     <dtml-var content html_quote newline_to_br>
</dtml-if>
