No, Please! I USE this ability to display things that are visible to GUI
browsers, but not display them for Lynx where they are irrelevant. I do NOT

Yes, they were intended to be invisible, leave them that way. If you want
to see them anyway, there are numerous ways to do so, don't screw up my
ability to present meaninful information.
