DTML is recursive, however it is not polymorphic, as such would require
some sort of code manipulation protcol and enhancements to the DTML
security.  Full polymorphism would be, of course, a plus with an added
level of complexity, makes me thing of LISP and FORTH.

There is good news however, a recent intern of ours developed alot of
the DOM methods for Zope objects, and I beleive there was some work done
in regard to XSL.  Jim would have more details.
