Coming back for maintenance to a DTML site and noticed something strange...

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-call somethingThatDoesntExist>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

...fails silently and does nothing ! I mean there is no AttributeError or
such exception saying that there's no "somethingThatDoesntExist" object.

Is it a bug or a feature ?

Noticed in a Zope 2.3.3 and tested (with the same result) with Zope 2.6.1

Thanks in advance.
