My bad! This is what I meant to say:

<!--#var "_.getitem(_.getitem('sequence-item')).title"-->

I did not understand the difference between _[] and _.getitem. The DTML
User's Guide explains that _[] automatically calls objects, while _.getitem
does not by default.

So the reason you were getting an attribute error is that Zope was calling
the Documents and then looking for a 'title' attribute in the resulting
string.
