Yes, after some more pondering and some experimentation it
makes sense. The confusion arose because of the use of
'dtml-in'; it makes sense more easily when you think of
dtml-in as a repeated dtml-with.

We should've experimented some more here; it turned out to be a name
aliasing problem -- our records were indeed acquiring the same name
from somewhere else (a folder) which screwed things up.

Thanks for your feedback!
