It's still in heavy use on zope.org, for example. And it is still documented on 
zope.org, too.

The idiom <dtml-var name="..."> is scattered all over zope.org. 
Just for fun, try 

http://www.google.de/search?q=%22dtml-
var+name%22+view_source+site%3Awww.zope.org

This results in 96 hits, at this moment.

Specifically, have a look at

a) zope.org, usage

	http://www.zope.org/Products/all_products/view_source, line 27

	 "<dtml-if name="sequence-start">
	<dtml-var name="document_title"> 	
	Products <dtml-var name="sequence-number">
	...
 
b) zope.org, documentationnn

	http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/DTML-HTML/DTML.4.1.html 
	DTML Tag Syntax
	...
	<dtml-var name="standard_html_header">
	...

c) zopelabs

	"knowing the difference between <dtml-var name="foo">; 
	and <dtml-var expr="foo">; will surely make learning Zope 
	a bit more easy."
