[Zope-dev] HTMLFile vs DTMLFile

[Patrick Gerken]

Hello,

looking through old bugs, I saw one about some issue with HTMLFile. I
started to wonder, why would want somebody to use HTLMFile, if
DTMLFile exists, and DTMLFile, allows you to define your own global
namespace, what HTMLFile doesn't
According to this thread
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=zope-dev&m=100160092618036&w=2
The basic difference is that DTMLFile does some mangling with the
global namespace that HTMLFile doesn't, thus making HTMLFile a bit
more dangerous.

Might HTMLFile be a candidate for deprecation?

best regards,
