Hacker Beware!  ;-) You might run into problems later when you want to
create new properties on your document.

DTML methods cannot have their own properties, a fact which bit me a
while back when I tried to implement a request counter for my DTML
documents. So whenever I tried to change a property the property of
the containing folder was changed (via Acquisition), so if you plan to
add properties you'll need to use dtml documents as opposed to
methods.

Cheers,
