Because, as we said, the HiperDOM/xHTMLTemplate template is
already a "view", already part of the presentation layer. The
standard_page_template default wrapping is an attempt to
conjure a new "meta-presentation" layer out of nothing.

It solves a problem but creates more, because most people will
_not_ want the wrappers at all. Wrappers re-create the infamous
"source vs. rendered issue" and there's no easy way out of
that; they may be an useful functionality, but they're an UI
nightmare.
