I presume you mean "can't" there?

Well, the bit which may (unless someone has sneakily optimised it ;-) involve traversing
the entire skin path is actually getting the REQUEST object. In both DTML and ZPT, and
PythonScripts, this will, as some stage involve acquiring the REQUEST via self.REQUEST or
context.REQUEST, and that will have to look through all the skin layers before finding
that REQUEST isn't there :-S

cheers,
