A quick explanation is that DTML methods operate in the namespace of
their containing object (generally a folder), whereas DTML documents
create a new namespace level.  This makes a BIG difference when you're
trying to do certain things :-)  For example, the method "objectValues",
which I use a lot, will return the object values of the containing
folder when used in a DTML method, but will return basically nothing
when used in a document.

This ia a bit confusing, but...
