Normally I see excess use of <br> in GUI pages where the authors are
so thoughtless as to not understand that HTML has a paragraph construct.

I think it is very bad for Lynx help files to demonstrate the sort of
bad style that in other contexts makes pages difficult to read under
Lynx.  HTML is not a page description language, and, except in verse, 
newlines are not significant to the structure of body text, so should
be left to the browser to insert according to the user's policies.
