Yeah, it certainly does, and I didn't mean to knock that feature.  I just
figured that if you're going to the trouble of creating a single-page
version, you're effectively doing most of the things necessary (not all,
certainly, but most) for a "print" version of the more conventional variety,
so why not leverage it for the benefit of anyone who doesn't want PDF?  I
only made the suggestion because it's the sort of thing that, if implemented
early on, is very little extra work.
