You are right Jeff. Downforce happens because the wind (air) is pushing down against the spoiler. That is why spoilers angle up, as to catch the airflow and force it to move upwards...thus pushing down on the rear of the car.
A spoiler that is "wind-adjusted" is just weight on your trunk. That is the only traction aid it would give.
