I had a few thoughts on creating writeable local variables so I put 
them down in a HowTo. See
http://www.zope.org/Members/Duncan/LocalVars
for instructions on a different way to manipulate local variables in 
Zope. Basically, by addinga small python method, it lets you write 
code like:
 
  <dtml-with "locals(a=1, b='a string')" mapping>
     <dtml-var a> <dtml-var b>
     <dtml-call "set(a=3, b=b[:5])">
     <dtml-var a> <dtml-var b>
  </dtml-with>

and get:
   1 a string 3 a str 
as output.
