TAL will automatically HTML-quote upon a 'replace' or 'content' on the 
idea that you're usually displaying content that way, and want "special 
characters" to be content-visible.

You may tell it otherwise with the 'structure' keyword, which indicates 
that you're using data that should be written verbatim since it may have 
HTML structure to it::

<span tal:replace="structure here/logo" />

Your syntax above was quite broken, by the way. I'm assuming it's not 
what you actually tried to use.

Dunno. Maybe because DTML is older, or because it's more like all the 
other simple template languages? Still, most modern Zope projects use ZPT.
