You're very close. Michel Pelletier wrote a message a few weeks back that
explained things nicely. Basically, the first parameter is the "target"
object (not sure if that's the right word), and the second parameter is the
namespace.

<dtml-if "some_condition">
 <dtml-var "render_item(_.None, _, input_var1='value1')">
<dtml-else>
 <dtml-var "render_item(_.None, _, input_var1='value2')">
</dtml-if>

Should do what you're looking for. Note that you don't need to pass REQUEST
in, because it is a part of the namespace.
