Summary is not defined (as you found) for most plain objects. CatalogAware 
defines it, but unfortunately without stripping tags. You might check out my 
DTMLDocumentExt code which renders the document and strips the html tags. It 
is an extension of some code Dieter posted online a while back. You can find 
it at:
