w3 formats the tables and aligns columns and rows (and draws boxes in some
cases).  Lynx tends to ignore them, so:

A      B      C
12.34  56.78  90

in Lynx usually looks like

A B C
12.34 56.78 90

(and when the table entries use <BR> and other tags it gets worse).

FYI, the 3.x beta of w3 has proxy entries, and setting https proxy for
lynx for my lynx SSL proxy will also make it work with w3 (but you must
have a trailing /, i.e. "https://x.y.z/";, not just "https://x.y.z"; - as
would work lin Lynx).
