Yes, that should be possible (and I think I mentioned it somewhere).

Anyway, for most people, namely all those who always use the same Display
character set, there shouldn't be a problem, since the stuff written to
the bookmark file is already translated to the Display character set.
That is, is shouldn't be a problem once things are set up right for their
situation.

As far as character sets are concerned, I hope that IE would take a META
tag with charset=... into account, so that, if Lynx (or the user) has put
that META in the bookmark file, IE will show the right characters.

Of course, if this is not the case, then it should be reported.
