Both.  Actually, they act exactly like External Methods, so the
<dtml-var> behavior you describe is normal.

:      Error Type: TypeError
:      Error Value: len() of unsized object

You've uncovered a bug :-P  It was easy to squish, and as you
discovered, it can be avoided by declaring at least one parameter with a
default value.

: Also, it would be nice if the 'TryIt' tab allowed you to enter
arguments, like a Z SQL Method does.

I agree; Feel free to contribute a patch <wink>.  It's on the To-Do
list.
