Are you suggesting that you don't want this page themed using drupal's theming system?
Normally customization is done using content-type.tpl files. But if you're looking for non-themed pages, then you probably want do develop your own custom module.
Happy to advise on either but need to know which strategy you're looking for here.

I have a CCK type (a news article)... is there any way I can give a custom view of this (not just the node, but the whole page), so I can output it in XML etc.? e.g /path/to/node (uses normal node view), / path/to/node/xml (renders it in XML using a template - actually what I want to do is render it in XHTML, but in a certain format)
I've looked at Views, but they seem geared towards rending lists of CCK types - I just want a special view of a particular node
alternatively, I could have a module that loads the CCK type via a callback menu item - e.g. /somecallback/path/to/node . ... but I can't figure out how to load the node based on the /path/to/node information.. anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
