This probably isn't what you want to hear, but doing it in Python
rather than DTML was probably the Right Choice to start with.
A tree copy is a programming task, not a presentation task, and
DTML is (supposed to be <grin>) for presentation not programming.

Which doesn't mitigate against any of your comments about DTML being
in poor shape...
