But once you have done 5 lines of dtml, and yoo need to add sixth, 
what is more probable: 

1. Rewrite as a pyhtonmethod
2. Just add the sixth line

I have the creeping feeling, that dtml is the worst thing since csh. 

Fortunatly, even DC seems to have realized it.

But cgi is slow. and using mod_proxy is not beatiful and adds latency. 
Besides, the zserver on 2.1.6 seems to have bugs that sometimes let 
the page only 90% through. I've really wondered, why all the trouble 
of using a own HTTP server, Apache is a great HTTP server and most 
users run it anyway. which leads to the natural question:

	Why isn't there a mod_zope module?
