according to  k ,  ^r  =  `reload current document':
that's NOT the same thing as `re-render' (see below).

yes: re-rendering after editing local source file.

Bela's suggestions are very sensible,
but i'm waiting till all comments seem to be in
before offering a summary as DE FACTO PRO TEM moderator ... (grin).
 
HOWEVER, there is a vital point re  ^r :
it is essential for all users to be able to tell Lynx
"Go & get this document again from the remote site";
i do this often, after  z  -apping a slow download
only to find i haven't got enough of the document.
so  ^r  must override ALL caching:
it should get the source & render it iff it is currently rendered;
to `re-render', simply enter  \  when the source is currently presented.
