Well, "as determined by the specifications that Wget understands" is of
course implied. When Wget was originally written, CSS hadn't been
invented yet. So the statement was true for virtually all websites until
CSS came into use, at which point Wget was obsolete, and unable to
download "all files that are necessary". However, it will never be
completely true: after all, some "needed" items might be requested by
JavaScript, which Wget can't parse. Or new standard could come into play
sometime, just as CSS did in the late 90s.
