I concur with his excellent, concise argument against DTML-as-logic :)

Sorry, missed this comment when it was originally posted. Don't forget that 
most current Zopes won't let you use a Python Script as your 
standard_error_message - it MUST be a DTML Method - no other meta_type will 
be recognised. This has been fixed in 2.5 and _possibly_ 2.4.4(?)
