I agree, multistep downsampling can give a better image, than a single
downsample, at least in PS.  I've done that for images that are for the web
(100 PPI is what I target), and I believe they do look better.  I have not
tried sharpening though.

I know you say you leave them at the scanned resolutions, but doesn't that
put you at the mercy of what ever the browser does, and may degrade your
image?  When I have a "large" image in the browser, a lot of times it
re-sizes the image, after it's done loading it...
