DTML isn't dead, but some of us *wish* it was.  And by proclaiming it 
dead, we hope to create anti-buzz around DTML, thus speeding the 
adoption of ZPT.  It may be FUD, but it is FUD for benevolent ends!  
Let us save you from yourself!  (What, you don't need saving?  
Pshaw...)

If ZPT just had a non-attribute-language form, then we could really 
call DTML dead.  I'm surprised no one's written that before now, it 
doesn't seem like it would be unreasonably difficult.

PS, all the cool kids use ZPT
