Not really, because that would be "passing a stream when fetching water".

DTML call is used to call functions from within DTML. Public functions are
availiable directly from an url. Thusly:

http://foo.bvar.com/path/object/method?param1=value&param2=value

Yup. Remove both the brackets and the dtml-call bit and you are done!

Not all methods are availiable like this, and only the methods that return
HTML make any sense to use like this, but I'm sure you are ware of this.
