Download document as template doesn't purge data or reduce file size. #14

When downloading document and choosing "Remove All Data but keep the structure to use as a template", the download size is the same as "Remove document history". I would expect the document containing structure only to be very small in comparison.

For instance, one of my current databases with some attachments exports as 84MB with full history, 72MB with no document history and 72mb with only the database structure.

This would make it prohibitive to distribute a very mature database file (this one may grow to about .5 - 1GB if I continue adding the usual attachments) to another person in my community both for size and possible recoverable data.
