+ It downloads b.html, but it does not download a.html.
It does this quite correctly as the reference to a.html is commented out!
'<!' is an SGML prefix, thereafter '--' starts a comment and the next '--'
closes the comment (with a finel '>' to satify the SGML syntax ...
If I counted correctly there are 27 occurences of '--' in each of your
pseudo comment lines which means that a correct parser will treat the
whole of the first three lines as a comment.

I suspect that works because of wget's error recovery action at the end of
your file. I also suspect the problem will go away if you give wget
genuine HTML!
