i've used dtml outside of zope, but i tend to pass it most of the
variables it needs and let it do the rendering. 

you should be able to pass an empty dict to the dtml as the mapping
arguement and set variables inside of that, although you might have to
wrap it with attributing setting methods so that it can be used from
dtml. or you can use a dtml-let clause to create the proper variables.

<dtml-let x="1+2">
	<dtml-var x>
	<dtml-var "x/2">
</dtml-let>

long live the pyxies:)
