This is largely true.  With Zope 2 and ZServer you can also FTP DTML
documents into the object database.

I know from a recent personal test that Netscape 4.x doesn't like more
than either 32 or 64k in its textarea.  On IE5 I quit testing at
something like 300k.  Alternatively, you could upload files and have a
clever ExternalMethod recast them as DTML Documents or Methods.
