[ZPT] ZPT standard in Zope

Speaking of which,

In Zope 2.5. will DTML still be "the default template markup"?
If not, when? (yes I know it's a tricky question)

When you clean-install Zope 2.5, it could be a PageTemplate object called
index_html, standard_html_look, and standard_error_message and instead a
Quickstart written in ZPT :)

One thing that worries me before a complete switch over to ZPT would be all
the Products that are not stand alone.
They assume that standard_html_header and standard_html_footer exists in the
namespace.

It would be nice to be able to use a ZPT master macro in calls like this:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
Hello
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

What's the future visions on this?
