Nope. Hadn't noticed that one. Now I just have to figure out what it sould look like for swedish. I thought it was "se", "se_SWE" or something, but I seems to be rember wrong.

Ok, like the "Formatted Document" product used on the Zope site.

So basiclly: don't use DTML Document/Method, subclass them to do what you want them to do, instead of a lot of dtml-tags inside of them? That way you get different meta-type tags for different type of data, and zcatalog can handle them properly...? Am I getting it right?
