Apparently, this case breaks your design principle ("content" does not
have arguments).

I see two options:

  *  extend your design principle: all "content" objects expect optional
     arguments.

     Inside your "index_html", you then have:

	    <div tal:content="structure python:apply(here.content,(),options)">

     and inside your script, you use

           return context.index_html(...)

  *  You use "REQUEST" to pass the special variables to "content"
     and let it look there for its arguments.
