Hi Dale,

thanks, just push patch #1.

The second one is still not a candidate for a release. The patch changes some 
basic / default behavior and we still got no opinions/discussion from anyone 
testing it. Sorry, but from the old thread there are too many open points.

We (hello, list !) should elaborate more on how --no-parent and --page-
requisites should work together. Maybe we just have to answer if these should 
be mutually exclusive or which one has precedence.

--span-host, --trust-server-names, --content-disposition and maybe others also 
influence the behavior...

Regards, Tim
