I'll be darned, you're right.  I didn't realize -R behaved differently for
html files than for others.  But I guess if there's no possibility of any
links to follow, there would never be a reason to download an unwanted
file, whereas with html there might be some cases where a user would want
to reject a file but still follow its links (which at the moment is the
only option).

Sorry for the mix-up, thanks for setting me straight!
