Currently, and I can't speak for the future of this, but currently, Zope
is designed to parse DTML (the current syntax, using comments) into pure
raw HTML, and nothing else... it's not intended to go to XML/SGML, and
quite honestly, I don't think it would be a good fit for that.  What it
is, quite honestly, is a tiny little scripting ability (like PHP), not a
full blown mark-up language.  I believe PHP also uses <?php ?> as it's
syntax, and I've not seen any huge explosions of fire from that one.
