Hmm... not if you use "context" rather than "self" you don't.
Assuming Python Script and not External Method.

Arguably 

return context.standard_html_header() + '''foo''' +
context.standard_html_footer()

is also cleaner and easier to read than 

return self.standard_html_header(self, self.REQUEST) + '''foo''' +
self.standard_html_footer(self, self.REQUEST)

See Zope Book chapter 8 for some examples of use of context inside
Python Scripts.
