Sorry, don't follow you... the rendered page should be the same as the
raw contents of the HTML document, surely?

Might still be nixe to set the content-type to text/html
I think Zope might get upset if you don't.

PS: Just had another thought (what two in a day?!):

How about removing the DTML Document object type and replacing it with a
simple 'Document' class where you can choose the encoding a la ZWiki
0.6.

The default would be DTML with options for Plain Text, Structured Text
and HTML.

The ability to change the encoding should be controlled by a permission
so it's nice and secure.
