The O in Zope stands for Object... zope allows you to benefit
from object-oriented design, why not take advantage of it?

I'd put all the sequence stuff in a separate object.
You like dtml, fine, do it as a dtml method, call it
my_sql_sequence_display or whatever you like.
Then index_html only needs to contain this:

<dtml-var my_sql_sequence_display>

Now index_html is easier to read, my_sql_sequence_display has
one and only one job that's easy to understand, and if you
ever need to use that sequence display somewhere else, you can.
