Before these methods were put in place, we had (and still have) the
attributes "text" and "cooked_text". text -> EditableBody() (ie,
unprocessed structured text); cooked_text -> CookedBody() (ie,
processed structured text).
Doing a "<dtml-var text>" then could yield surprisingly frightening
results, although one would probably tend to use 'var text" over
'var cooked_text'. The newer names try to be slightly more obvious.
EditableBody should only be used in editing forms, or anywhere
where you want to show the source of the body.
