+* RFC 1738 says that if logging on to an FTP server puts you in a directory
+  other than '/', the way to specify a file relative to '/' in a URL (let's use
+  "/bin/ls" in this example) is "ftp://host/%2Fbin/ls".  Wget needs to support
+  this (and ideally not consider "ftp://host//bin/ls" to be equivalent, as that
+  would equate to the command "CWD " rather than "CWD /").  To accomodate people
+  used to broken FTP clients like Internet Explorer and Netscape, if
+  "ftp://host/bin/ls" doesn't exist, Wget should try again (perhaps under
+  control of an option), acting as if the user had typed "ftp://host/%2Fbin/ls".
+
+* If multiple FTP URLs are specified that are on the same host, Wget should
+  re-use the connection rather than opening a new one for each file.
+
 * Try to devise a scheme so that, when password is unknown, Wget asks
   the user for one.

 * Make wget return non-zero status in more situations, like incorrect HTTP auth.
 
-* Timestamps are sometimes not copied over on files retrieved by FTP.

 * Make -K compare X.orig to X and move the former on top of the latter if 
   they're the same, rather than leaving identical .orig files laying around.
