What I am proposing is to prefetch links referenced by SRC and nothing else.
These links are automatically requested on user's behalf, so if they are
expensive, users can't avoid it anyway unless they abort. Anyway, based on my
observation, usually normal web sites are nice enough that they won't put
"expensive" objects in those references.

Hope this clarifies a bit.

Thanx
