Nonono. If the attribute is not specified, the page is a standalone template and is not wrapped at all. This is important.
But, you see, this solution sounded an alarm for the OO folks here at DC. I wanted it just as you say. But when it was presented this way, everyone figured that the effect was that the model was specifying the view... and that's just wrong. I agree with them in one regard--models should not specify views. But as I see it (and as I think you do as well), we're not on the model layer at all. All of this is *only* on the view or "presentation" layer.
Obviously. Templates (Hiperdom or XHTMLWhatever) are the view. The model is the set of objects and methods that store and process the data. Both templates - the page template and the wrapper - are components of the presentation layer. The concept of a wrapper is just another cool feature to make people's lives easier; is basically about building a presentation from a prototype.
So the standard_page_template default wrapping is an attempt at a compromise.
