I'm really not familiar with DTML (and happy about that from what I've
seen). Does the problem come from the "implicitness"? Why not have an
explicit binding for the calling template, or treating the Script as a
method of the object "template"?

In fact, I was surprised to see that "context" seems to be the folder of the
template and not the template itself.
