The hierarchy is deep, wide and heavily populated at each node. The number of folders is out of my control, as is the number of 'documents' in each folder, as is the type of documents.
I need a selective way of wrapping as well as all-encompassing way, e.g. I don't want to wrap Image or other binary types.
I haven't done it before, but I believe you could solve the problem with a Python Script, using the Subpath binding. If one of your documents is for instance /foo/bar/documents/moo/miao/quack/ye_olde_document and you have created your Python script in any other place, such as /zoo/wrapper one would reach the wrapped version of the document via the URL http://your.place/zoo/wrapper/moo/miao/quack/ye_olde_document thus invoking the `wrapper' script. The `wrapper' script would simply have to use the traverse_subpath variable in order to locate the document under /foo/bar/documents (assuming all of those to be handled by `wrapper' are stored somewhere below that folder), determine the document type, decide on how to wrap it based on its type (and eventually other document properties if you wish) and return the (conditionally) wrapped document (not forgetting to set the appropriate Content-Type header).
