As the pages are generated from xml, this might be hard to do. Also isn't 
this something that should be done by the downloading program. I know 
that IE does (used to do) this. Wget can do something similar. In any 
case isn't the idea of downloading a page that you also download the 
images and stylesheets, etc. belonging to it. (firefox can also do this).
