They are identical only in that they are both dynamic.  ZPT are more
like XMLC, you "sprinkle" your HTML with special tag attributes that
indicate what parts of the page are dynamic.  You can then "bind", so
to speak, an object with a template and then render that template in
the context of your object.

Perhaps, I'm not on the inside at ZC so I couldn't tell you.  I know
that it probably wouldn't be a really difficult job, but then again
lots of Zope is written in C, and also Zope components like ZODB may
not make sense in Jython and/or there may need to be some thought on
using other Java ODBMS systems behind it.  Who knows, lots to think
about....
