How to render $Content without any template?

Hi,

I created a new page type PlainPage and I would like to just render the content of the TinyMCE editor. I added the template /themes/mytheme/templates/PlainPage.ss with a simple

$Content

However, this strips out any DOCTYPE, <html> and <header> tags - but that already happens through TinyMCE.

Then I tried to add this to the PlainPage.ss code

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
	<title>$Title</title>
	$MetaTags(false)
</head>
<body>
$Content
</body>
</html>

It would be OK for my purposes to have this simple code, but then Silverstripe always adds a

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="http://etc ...

before the closing </head> tag. This comes from the Page.php init() function with lines like

Requirements::themedCSS("typography","screen");

How can I tell Silverstripe NOT to add this CSS information to the new page type? (But I need it in other page types.)

Cheers!

function init() {
parent::init();
Requirements::clear();
}

Having that in PlainPage_Controller should get rid of all those CSS files.
