 This is the to-do list for Wget.  There is no timetable of when we plan to
 implement these features -- this is just a list of things it'd be nice to see in
 Wget.  Patches to implement any of these items would be gladly accepted.  The
-items are not listed in any particular order.  Not all of them represent
-user-visible changes.

+* When spanning hosts, there's no way to say that you are only interested in
+  files in a certain directory on _one_ of the hosts (-I and -X apply to all).
+  Perhaps -I and -X should take an optional hostname before the directory?
+
+* When simplifying paths, wget needs to stop at any '?' character.  Also, wget 
+  behaves differently from popular browsers in removing './'s from abs. URLs.
+
+* 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.
