Doh!  You're right, of course.  I had tested it with Google's main page
and it seemed to work OK, but testing with my company's website
definitely pulls in extra stuff.

Perhaps 'wget -p http://www.url.com' might work?  The -p option is

    -p,  --page-requisites    get all images, etc. needed to display
HTML page.

It seems to pull in <object>s like Flash, etc.
