+* Add an option to not encode special characters like ' ' and '~' when saving
+  local files.  Would be good to have a mode that encodes all special characters
+  (as now), one that encodes none (as above), and one that only encodes a
+  character if it was encoded in the original URL (e.g. %20 but not %7E).
+
+* --retr-symlinks should cause wget to traverse links to directories too.
+
+* Lots of noncompliant webservers issue HTTP redirects to relative URLs, and
+  browsers follow them, so wget should too.
+
+* Make wget return non-zero status in more situations, like incorrect HTTP auth.
+
+* Timestamps are sometimes not copied over on files retrieved by FTP.
+
+* Wget does not currently handle "fragment identifiers" (the part of a URL 
+  starting with the '#' character) properly.
+
+* 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.
+
+* Allow mirroring of FTP URLs where logging in puts you somewhere else besides 
+  '/'. 
 
 * Make `-k' convert <base href=...> too.
 
+* Make `-k' check for files that were downloaded in the past and convert links 
+  to them in newly-downloaded documents.
+
+* -k should convert convert relative references to absolute if not downloaded.
+
+* -k should convert "hostless absolute" URLs, like <A HREF="/index.html">.
+  However, Brian McMahon <bm@iucr.org> wants the old incorrect behavior to still
+  be available as an option, as he depends on it to allow mirrors of his site to
+  send CGI queries to his original site, but still get graphics off of the
+  mirror site.  Perhaps this would be better dealt with by adding an option to
+  tell -k not to convert certain URL patterns?
