No it reads what it says. DTML works.

Yes, and bad DTML is hard to maintain. Im sure we are going to see some
really ugly ZPT that is hard to maintain. So is really badly written Python.
The main reason DTML from 2 years ago sucked was the lack of Python Scripts
in the days when you either wrote DTML or a Product.
