I agree that this is worth a notable mention in the wget output. At the very
least, running with -d should provided more guidance on why the links it has
appended to urlpos are not being followed. Buried in the middle of hundreds
of lines of output is:

no-follow in index.php

On the other hand, if other rules prevent a URL from being followed, you
might see something like:

Deciding whether to enqueue "http://www.othersite.com/index.html";.
This is not the same hostname as the parent's (www.othersite.com and
www.thissite.com).
Decided NOT to load it.
