Does it prefetch all the time, or do requests from line mode browsers or GUI
browsers with delayed image loading get detected? For example, a browser could
twiddle its accept headers to indicate that it was not (currently) looking for
images. I was not able to determine this from the online documentation

PS Could you post a quick description of the differences betwwen HTML and
SJIS-HTML which is mentioned in the online docs?
