Ah, I see now. In which case, to me, it's still simple. For "data" (images, zip files, binary files, probably even program code - basically, anything other than text/x-moin-wiki, and equivalents for other markup), I want the "rendering" to simply be the item data, with its associated mimetype. Then clicking on the link causes the browser's configured action (usually download, but maybe display for images and text) to occur. And the standard browser right click "Save target as" action works as I want. (That's actually a major point - with custom rendering, right click "Save as" never works for images, zipfiles, etc etc. You are compelled to use the user interface of the rendered page, whether it suits you or not). The sort of rendering you suggest, I simply don't want. If, for a special case, I did, I would give the item a *different*, non-standard mimetype, and write an appropriate renderer. If Moin came with some such renderers bundled, that might help (but as I'd rarely, if ever, use them, I could equally see it as bloat). Summary - I don't want Moin to render anything other than Wiki markup. If you have compelling examples of why a specific renderer might be more useful than straight download (note - the ones you mention above are not compelling to me) then I'd be interested, because frankly I cannot think of any.
