why use getitem wouldn't an objectItems be more what you want.

from root in index_html

<dtml-in "news.objectItems(['DTML Document']">
<dtml-with sequence-item>
<a href="<dtml-var absolute_url>"><dtml-var title></a>
<dtml-var bobobase_modification_time>
</dtml-with>
</dtml-in>

OR

getitem takes an optional arg. on whether it should call the item or
just get a reference

try _.getitem(item, 1)
