lynx-dev lynx and other character sets

[Roozbeh Pournader]

Hi everybody,
I'm new to the list, so forgive me if I speak weirdly and not in the list 
way. The time will correct me.

I have two question:

1. What does lynx do about character-sets other than US-ASCII?  Are they
supported?  I mean things like Cyrillic or Greek.

2. Is there any work on implementing BIDI tags (<BDO> and dir) in HTML4.0?
Do you think this can be done without redesigning the engine?

3. What about Unicode? Is there any program to support it somehow and in
some way?
