Hmm.  Would it be possible for Lynx to "remember" what assumptions
it had to make, and then pop up a selection list?  IE:

        Try Harder Menu

  Lynx detected the following possible problems
  in this document.  Please mark each item that
  you with Lynx to "try harder" on.

   ( ) Assumed end of form entry
   ( ) Possible unterminated comment
   ( ) Overly heavy table reliance
   ( ) Braindead HTML author 

OK, so maybe the last one's a bit too much, but a guy can dream,
can't he? :)
