XWIKI-177 marked "Won't fix"

I noticed that XWIKI-177, an issue I reported, was recently marked "Won't fix". A comment was made to the effect that the current behavior isn't a bug. This issue affected my design of my "XWiki Aggregate Document PDF Generator" (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/AggregateDocs). I wanted to use the xwiki.getDocument() function to retrieve documents for inclusion in the generated PDF, but due to XWiki's current behavior, I had to resort to using HTTP downloads (a much slower and less robust approach). I guess I'm having a hard time understanding why the current behavior described in XWIKI-177 is the intended behavior. It really seems like a bug to me. Stephen
