Just before responding to this, I went and did some checking, and the
current version of Zope seems to have cleaned this up.  If you have an
image stored in Zope, you can insert it in a page with markup like:

  <dtml-var my_image>

and it outputs an IMG tag when the page is requested by someone.  This
automatically produced HTML used to be very retro (capitalized tag names
and attributes, missing quotes around attribute values, etc.), but the
latest version produces good XHTML compliant code including a trailing
slash since IMG is empty.

Hats off to those Zopistas,

Chris
