[Zope] Was Problem using nested dtml-in with zsql

Well spoken. It is painful to see all the cheers for django templates when
dtml has been around longer and is just as good, maybe better.

ZPT may also be fantastic but I haven't needed them yet. They seem to be
designed to solve web editing problems circa 2002.
