[Zope] structured text with <dtml> tags?

Note that there is a minor behavioral difference when you put structured
text in a dtml document (or method) and when you put it in a straight
file object, although you loose the benefit of editing the content
through the web (you can use FTP, or HTTP PUT, or whatever) any dtml in
the structured text will not get rendered, and thus, is 'quoted'.
