Count me as another vote of support.  As much as people diss DTML, my first 
few sites were entirely DTML because, before PythonScripts or PythonMethods, 
it was the simplest solution when you needed TTW editing.

It would take just a little nudge (the sequence-* to sequence_* patch, and 
perhaps this dtml-break) to make DTML much easier to use.  I consider DTML as 
a relatively unthreatening step for people between newbie status and moving 
into full Python methods.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go back and start writing my first 
ZClass...
