Aha! My intuition was rigth. Together with the other remarks from Casey
Duncan, I get it. And from the zope book:

"Namespace
    The Namespace binding is left blank by default. If your script is called
from a DTML Method, and you have chosen a name for this binding, then the
named variable contains the DTML namespace explained in the chapter entitled
Advanced DTML ."

Mutatis mutantis for ZPT and I guess DTML strikes back with a revenge!

It's just a pitty the difference in semantics (in the path vs python syntax)
from what should be the same thing, no?

Care to explain what's going on?

Many thanks,

Fernando
