Zope Page Templates (ZPT) have as a design criterion that the page be valid
HTML thus usable with popular HTML tools.  This is one of the reasons that
DTML, which was the original Zope templating, is deprecated in the Zope
world with ZPT preferred.

One of the more daunting bumps on the Zope/Plone learning curve is learning
to handle the METAL macros.

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science
requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.
