Yeah, that's where I got many of them. However, I chose to go with better 
names rather than Zope compatibility. If we actually had a DTML like syntax 
that would be one thing. But we're not even close to DTML so I don't see 
the point (as I do with Velocity).

Also there are good arguments for some of the names. For example, 
htmlEncode and urlEncode already exist in WebUtils.Funcs and Page.

"width" makes a lot more sense than "size"

And so on.
