Is headLine a variable whose contents you have set somewhere else? Or is
headLine the name of the variable within the REQUEST block that you want to
access?

eg.
if you did something like:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('headLine', 'id123')">
(or if headLine is returned from a form)

Then
<dtml-var "REQUEST['headline']">
will display: id123

However:
<dtml-var "REQUEST[headline]">
is a type of indirection, which means that the contents of
REQUEST['headLine'] will be used to locate another variable with the REQUEST
block.

eg.
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('headLine', 'id123')">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('id123', 'xxx')">
<dtml-var "REQUEST[headline]">

will display: xxx
