It's not really that simple, the page should be accessible via API just as any other page, should be useable as any other page, etc. (include able using {{NoHistory:PageName}}). If we used the conception of Special page, it wouldn't work like this

Hey,
It's probably one of the most straight-forward to make extensions I've
heard of as well.
If you go for a special page based design, then yes, this is simple. If you want to have it properly integrated with MediaWiki, it's rather less trivial.
these pages could live in a special namespace like [[NoHistory:PageName]]
I like that idea. Generalizing the article handling code to not assume there is a revision for every edit would probably require changes much in line what's being done with the content handler stuff.
