It is a bit of a shame.

I don't know the exact reason why it is built up the way it is without  
including most of the core WordPress files so as to allow plugin hooks  
etc.

I think it would be interesting to see if there is a technical reason  
(apart from speed) that this file is not more dynamic - I guess that  
is a question for Andrew and I hope he will pipe up)

It is one of the files that doesn't read like poetry to me ;-)
