I propose to take Vincent's proposal and have a parameter "outputType"
in the URL which provide the syntax identifier of the renderer to use.
Also since syntax identifier contains "/" which i never remember the
escaped version when i need it i propose to support short names by
looking at available renderers and take the last version of the asked
syntax (which mean the only renderer of this syntax most of the time
anyway but I prefer having something in case of).
So for example you could ask for the page Space.Page printed as plain
text and without UI with the URL:
I don't like xpage=plain but it already exists and is doing exactly
this, printing the content of the document without UI. We can decide
latter if we want a new parameter for this.
Feel free to propose another name, I'm not sure of "outputType" but i
could not find a better one and "renderer" seems too technical.

Hi devs,
In 2.0 architecture we have no way currently to print a strongly
formatted text (like JSON) or simply a plain text without XHTML which
we are doing generally using xpage=plain in XWiki 1.0
With the 1.0 syntax xpage=plain was mainly used to:
1/ Output data in special format (JSON, xls, etc). In those cases
{pre} was used to avoid xhtml transformations.
2/ Output xhtml content without the XWiki UI, I can think of one use
case where this content was put in ajax tooltips.
Is 2/ covered ? Do we need a xpage=xhtml for it ?
Note that xpage=xpart&vm=contentview.vm can be used as a workaround.
If you we want to have something clean for the future it seems to me
that having a parameter called outputType (or simply output, or type,
or contentType) which can take all renderer values would be best.
For ex outputType=xhtml, xwiki, text, pdf, rtf, etc
And when not specified it would default to outputType=xhtml.
For removing the UI I'd use another parameter since it's orthogonal.
Something like showUI=true|false
Thanks
