[dev] wicked page export architecture

Wicked permits page exports in plain text, HTML, LaTeX and reStructured
Text via links at the end of each page.
Over the attempt to print out a page I went for the HTML format, to find
out (thanks for pointing this out, Jan) that the corresponding link returns
just a HTML fragment, lacking the header with the charset and everything.
Bad for printing.
Could someone please explain what the rationale behind the fragments is? I
see that for automated export his may come handy, piping a page into a
larger text structure and everything. But said export is not API
functionality but user-clickable links. What use would a fragment be to a
user? And why is there no support for creating a printable page?
Thanks for any architectural clarification.
Sebastian
