It hasn't been nailed down, yet, and the proposals are pretty hazy so far.

In that case, stick with DTML!  Honestly, ZPT is not meant to be a
DTML-killer, just a really good tool for a particular class of tasks.  I
hope that most HTML and XML will soon be easier and more pleasant to
generate using ZPT than DTML, but it'll never completely supplant DTML.

Or did I misunderstand you?
