Then don't use DTML, it does, after all suck (tm) ;-)

then tpValues() is likely wrong for localfs, unless localfs doesn't want 
to play ball with the tree tag. Given that the tree tag is used by the 
zmi, and you don't really want to display potentially millions of 
sub-objects in the zmi, it might be perfectly legitimate for local-fs to 
do what it's doing...

Not me, I don't smile, but you knew that already ;-)

See my comments above.

I'd roll your own code without using dtml and just iterate over the 
objectIds method...

cheers,
