Because your non technical staff should not see or edit any DTML!!! 
"Content-Users" should only edit content (maybe in HTML or 
StructuredText), you (as web-application-developer) have to write and 
maintain the application, which renders the content...

Maybe you should have a look at something like UnifiedHTMLDocument / 
StructuredDocument.

And just another one: Zope isn't a Content-Management-System, Zope is an 
application-server!!! You can build your own CMS-applications with it... 
or use a ready-out-of-the-box-CMS like PLONE...
