You may want to check out this doc:

http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/HowTos/DTMLMethodsandDocsHowTo

This describes the differences between Methods and Documents.

Basically, a Method works within the namespace of its container. If an
index_html Method calls standard_html_header to produce a tree, the
container that the methods act upon is the Folder than contains index_html.
Therefore, the tree lists the other objects available in the Folder. If
index_html is a Document, then the standard_html_header operates with the
Document as the container and would try to list other objects contained
within the Document...

That said, I still recommend reading over Michel's doc.
