I like this proposal. I think it does simplify things. (Boy, people who are
new to Zope after the PTK comes out will have nifty sites up and running
really quickly :)

One comment: if the template attribute of the <dtml-template> tag can take
an expression, this will also make for an easy way to do skins. (And you
don't even have to wait for the browsers to support CSS properly)
