I think you might be missing an else: and a couple or three tabs. ;)

If I'm not wrong this should have a pretty elegant DTML equivalent:

<dtml-in PARENTS>
  <dtml-with aq_explicit only>
    <dtml-if propname>
      <dtml-return proname>
    <dtml-else>
      <dtml-raise AttributeError><dtml-var propname></dtml-raise>
    </dtml-if>
  </dtml-with>
</dtml-in>

I'm not going to actually *test* it.  Whether it works is left as an
exercise to the reader.
