What namespace?

You probably want the instance's namespace plus the request
namespace.  If this is the case, you want:

     def test(self, REQUEST=None):
         return self.myDTMLMethod(self, REQUEST)

DocumentTemplates (of which DTMLMethods are special
cases) take two positional arguments:

  - An object who's attributes are added to the namespace,

  - An object who's keys are added to the namespace.
