This is one of Zope's idiosyncrasies. id is ctually a metho when called in
this manner.

<dtml-var expr="md5er(id())"> should work

you can use module binascii to convert it to base64 like
import binascii
binascii.b2a_base64(a.digest())[:-1]
this will return a base64 representation of your digest, and it will also
strip the trailing newline.
