This is by design;  CMFDefault.Document objects are "static" content
only.  The main driver for this choice is that you need to trust your
content authors a *lot* more if you want to give them DTML access.

Note that the Document's content is displayed within the "content well"
defined by its template(s), which can still be defined (as skin methods)
in either DTML or ZPT.

Not at present.  We have several kinds of "composite content" proposals
kicking around, which would make what you want simpler:  the "dynamic"
bits would be created by a "higher-privilege" user, but might then be
composed into a single document by "normal" users.
