        At least that much also would be important in conjunction
with implementing valid CSS2 style sheet support, and more of HTTP/1.1,
without which the long term viabililty of Lynx as an Internet browser
is questionable, IMHO.  But I don't see why you're ruling out an
additional option for disk caching, particularly for personal PCs
which may have Gbyte disks but not as much spare memory, and on which
security/privacy concerns about caches may not be as great as on
multiuser systems.
