Callback functions are wonderful things. You create a stub function 
that call STORY_render_article or SP_render_content for you.

The real trick is getting around system staples like COM_getTopicSql()

One thing that would make this easier would be if stories were moved 
to an article plugin. There is so much code in core that says "if 
(this is a story) { do story stuff; } else { call plugin_api; }". All 
those ifs disappear with a story or article plugin.
