The answer to your implied question ("Can I use unbalanced 'let'?") is no.
dtml-let's closest living relative is LISP let: It's an assignment that
introduces a scope.

Using REQUEST.set shouldn't lead to leaks. It was true long ago but isn't
anymore. Of course, I'm assuming you aren't creating cycles in which case
you shouldn't do that.
