Thanks, Brion. That's what I've suspected...
But since there's the skin templating mechanism, I reason that all
pages, including the Special:*, must be generating only html fragments
instead of complete html pages. If I allows html mixed in wiki text, in
theory I should be able to embed Special:* in original wiki pages,
shouldn't I?
Is this doable? :-)

Nope, can't do that. Special pages are just entry points to code
functions; they do not produce wikitext and cannot be transcluded into
wiki pages.
