In the IModel instance which represents "0". Implementing IModel 
yourself properly can be very tricky; I instead recommending using 
twisted.web.woven.MethodModel, which can help with dealing with 
deferred callbacks by handling a lot of it automatically.

Woven's Deferred handling support is not very good. It is very 
convoluted, difficult to use, and buggy. If you need to develop a web 
application which deals with a lot of Deferreds, I recommend you use 
nevow, which is like woven 2.0. It was designed from the ground up to 
be easier to use and to be capable of dealing with deferreds properly.
