Hi Daryl -

DTML Methods and ExternalMethods (I suppose PythonMethods too) are special
in that they 'attach' to the object that calls them. (At least this is how
I understand it because even though they don't add their own namespace in
the stack, they still don't obey regular acquisition rules. If I am wrong
I hope someone can correct me). Generally I find that in most situations
having standard_html_header/footer and index_html as DTMlMethods is more
appropriate.
