I don't think that's what he meant.  Your dtml example is basically
invalid - it needs quotes around the "objectIds()".  I presume he meant
that, if it's so hard to get such a simple little dtml example working
right, then how can dtml be better? (Don't mean to put words in your mouth,
Steve, did I guess right?)

I'll bet that ZPT has lots of its own little obscurities, though.
