I guess the real question is whether you want to save a web page as an
application or just as a directory with an index.html file. It can be
convenient just to double-click on the app although in practice the
main reason I use "full save" is to save all the image files in one go
in which case a normal directory would do. The 'large' filer icon is
really too small to be useful as a thumbnail but I don't have a
problem with its use as such.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
