Laura,

this is funny. A while ago I sent to lynx-dev a similar patch (though it
in fact didn't work as I intended it to do, as Klaus has noted :-).. Our
idea is the same, just not to assume </FORM> and rather ignore the
offending ending tag. 

I wonder what do others think about the idea behind our patches.. It
certainly helps for most of the pages with bad markup and it doesn't have
any side effects on pages with good HTML..
