hmm.. 
forget that <!--PageText--> becomes a section start and
nesting is not allowed. So one needs to do both for valid output.
    SetTmplDisplay('PageEmptyFmt', 0);
    SetTmplDisplay('PageText', 0);
Do correct me if wrong.

2.
Another query, for a custom ?action=test, 
can I do something like

a.
....
  $FmtV['$PageText'] = 'some text';
  $FmtV['$OtherText'] = 'other text';
  SDV($HandleBrowseFmt, array(&$PageStartFmt, &$PageRedirectFmt, '$PageText',
    '$OtherText',  &$PageEndFmt));
  PrintFmt($pagename, $HandleBrowseFmt);
....

b. and in .tmpl file
....
<div class='text' >
<!--PageText-->
</div>
<div class='text' >
<!--OtherText-->
</div>
....

?

Tying create a skin for async/ajax calls (qnote).
Usually for a given custom ?action= 
calling print($var) and then exit() would suffice, 
but wanted use features in skin like sections. etc and
see if the skin can be used by other async apps generally.

Thanks.
