ZPT is just another new language to learn.
It perpetuates the unfortunate approach of requiring
a writer (content developer) to put non-content stuff
into the content.

All that was really needed to allow Zope pages to be
edited in WYSIWYG editors was to change the DTML
delimiters from '<' and '>' to '<!--' and '-->'.
(Or to allow this as a settable option.)
This is the approach taken in Conversant.

But then there's the NIH factor: can't do it the
simple way, because we didn't invent the comment
delimiters.
