No, 
actually I hadn't thought of redirecting, but I guess it can't work.
Either because the browser ignores the redirect after an 401 Unauthorized,
or because of the nature of dtml-raise which maybe prevents zope
from interpreting following code. Maybe someone can shed some light on that.

Perhaps you could try this:

<dtml-unless "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()=='Anonymous User'">
<dtml-raise type="Unauthorized">
Logout!!
</dtml-raise>
</dtml-unless>
You are now logged out!

Not very elegant (you have to enter one false login/pw combination
for the unless to work), but perhaps someone else has a better idea.

This may depend on why you want to log out - for just reaching
Anonymous "status" this seems the right thing.
Otherwise introducing a new kind of role might help "logout_user",
so you could test for that.
