Andy, Thanks for your response. My question is what could be the real usage scenario where I would like to serve a raw markup without the portal's theme, renders etc. For the end user, if all of a sudden I show him a page without the Portal look and feel - he will feel that he has been logged out of the portal (though may be technically I'm within the Portal context).
