This is a very interesting point you make, very familiar to our experience
with (and many internal discussions on how to apply!) DTML. We now try to
avoid the more complex features if their implementation in python doesn't
result in hard coded HTML fragment strings : in our opinion / taste , all
data processing belongs in the python code if possible, and result data
should be passed to DTML in an 'optimally elegant', i.e. fully normalized,
data structure.

Hear hear, and a happy new year to you too !
