+* -p should probably go "_two_ more hops" on <FRAMESET> pages.

+* Only normal link-following recursion should respect -np.  Page-requisite
+  recursion should not.  When -np -p is specified, Wget should still retrieve
+  requisite images and such on the server, even if they aren't in that directory
+  or a subdirectory of it.  Likewise, -H -np -p should retrieve requisite files
+  from other hosts. 
+
+* Add a --range parameter allowing you to explicitly specify a range of bytes to
+  get from a file over HTTP (FTP only supports ranges ending at the end of the
+  file, though forcibly disconnecting from the server at the desired endpoint
+  might be workable).
+
+* 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.
