If you mean ask the author to fix the page, I believe this one is beyond
hope.  Netscape's own website has many pages without closing name tags so
you can't expect a browser-X supporter to cater to valid HTML.  

I am not prepared to fix the problem in lynx, that is why I commented the
way I did.  As far as a fix goes, since tags are not nestable AFAIK we
should be closing the last one as we get a new one.
