I'm going to be incredibly dumb now and ask if this can now be accessed 
through DTML and how.

(Oh hi, I'm new here, Zope looks like just the thing I want but I'd 
appreciate some more obvious documentation and a more transparent approach 
to object development and implementation. The problem of either publishing 
the current date or taking a 'last updated' date from a database is just 
the first I've come across, although it looks like others have at the same 
time. I'm a perl/CGI veteran looking for a way not to reinvent the wheel 
for a reasonably idiot proof semi-public music/artist presentation service 
and if I get my head around it, Zope is the one. A recipe book for the 
basic functions would be a great help though, and I'll pitch my hand in 
for anything I can help with)
