Ok. So does it follow that the UserDB product gets its namespace
dictionary from the validate method, and that User Folder products
are therefore different from other products? Or is there a method
that is passed the current namespace dictionary when a object
is rendered as DTML or called from DTML? Does the __call__ method
receive the current namespace in any way?
