to clarify on the python solutions, the options that i see are either
1. calling the dtml method. if you have a reference to the method than
you call it directly. something like
return standard_html_header()
refer to lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py for calling syntax & args
2. evalutate an arbitrary dtml string ala '<dtml-var
standard_html_header>', something like
return HTML('<dtml-var standard_html_header>')()
refer to lib/python/OFS/DocumentTemplate/ for exact syntax && args.
