As you note: if PDF is what you want, then the option to request it, or whatever other format is your preferred option, would be excellent user-centric behaviour.

The idea of requesting, say, <item>.<extension>, where extension is [html,pdf,epub,djvu,txt,json,tex,md,csv,dir,...] would be interesting.

This presumes that there's a way to represent the content as, say, a directory listing, CSV, or JSON archive.
