[Zope] VERY Confused!

I'm taking this back on the list - it could be useful to others, and
someone else might have some better explanation for you...

OK, all objects in zope are ImplicitAcquirerWrappers - that's what
makes Acqusition work.  Why your dtml method should be returning an
Acquisition wrapper instead of an int, I'm not sure.  I suspect that
somehow the DTML method is not getting called in your dtml, and you're
getting the method object instead.

Try explicitly calling the DTML Method, using something like:

  <dtml-var "1008, size(_.None, _)">
