[Zope] Method vs. Doc.

[Andy McKay]

On the lowest level a DTML Document has a meaning of self whilst a Method
doesnt.

What that means is a DTML Document has properties, a Method does not. This
also means when using a mehtod calling say "objectIds()" or dtml-tree, it is
called on the folder. However a Document calls it on itself, often returning
nothing.

We have a general rule: use a Document for a page, a Method for a snippet.

Cheers.
