[Zope] (urgent) manage_changeProperties(data='new content')problem

[Peter Bengtsson]

Perhaps this rings a bell?
newdata="""<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2>
<p>
This is the <dtml-var id> Document.
</p>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>"""

As conluded by Chris McDonough, there seems to be a bug with when this
stringvariable looks XMLish. Perhaps this is because you must never be
allowed to save false DTML syntax and that can cause problems.
This can solve the problem:
context.dtmldocument.manage_changeProperties(storyboardproperty=newdata)
