How are you calling your ZClass? If it is from a <dtml-var> statement,
you need to specify the namespace explicitly for some odd reason:

	<dtml-var "zclass.method(zclass, _)">

Which reminds me, will ZClasses be auto-renderable inside tags in the
future? It seems silly that you can have an index_html method that is
rendered from a URL, but have to specify stuff as above to use it from
other DTML Methods/Documents. Is there a better way that I'm not aware
of?
