The thought with JS is that it would be easier for users to embed it
directly into templates. For anything that we add into FreePM itself,
it should be in an external method or Python Script.
I've just recently started using Python Scripts (they've been in the
last few releases of Zope) and they are very powerful for this type
thing. There are a lot of restrictions on them for security purposes
though.
There are many things that are in DTML now, that I will eventually move
into a Python Script to aid performance.
