This is the kind of "bodge" that works fine in ASP (where I seem to have 
learned a lot of bad habits!), but it seems it is less useful in Zope's 
more structured universe...

I was trying to figure out if the issue was simply that Zope would 
render a ZPT with "normal" content types and display the "raw" ZPT 
source with others, or if the effect was secondary and something else 
was going on "under the bonnet".

To me, it seems surprising that it behaves differently when the content 
type is changed - I understand why it seems to try to switch parsers, 
and why my title row then "breaks" it, but I would have expected the 
same /output/ regardless of the content type...
