That means that for HTML/XML like output DTML is a no-no.   It's still
usable for generating some other text output, i.e. a MIME e-mail with
attachments or, say, some .INI files, etc.  Though,  in most cases, a
simple Python view class would do as well for such things.   Note that
there are some subtle differences in the usage/implementation of DTML
between Z2 and Z3 in order to rectify problems related to the
(in)famous acquisition mechanism of Z2.
