CSS has mechanisms for limiting styles to particular contexts. I don't think
there is a character cell context, but, if the lack of one causes Lynx
problems, the right thing is to try and get it added. That way, the
lazy style sheets will get over-ridden by the the local style sheet and
the good ones will achieve the author's intent. In any case, text_align
is not a GUI only property, otherwise we wouldn't have this discussion!

html2ps is a lot smaller than Lynx and manages to parse quite a large
subset of CSS. It is written in a higher level language, though.
