Okay, I just checked. The man page clearly states:

However, in a practical use case, wget performs no such checks and will
send any data you provide it with.
So then how to unify --post-data and --post-file into one option? I too am
not a bid advocate of changing the meaning according to the content but
that seemed like the easiest way forward.
Also, is the --post-file command really needed? Even if one does really
need to use POST data from a file, one could always cat the file inside
backticks as:
> wget --options=POST `cat POSTdata` URL

Why not go with that?
