Nope, we can't confirm that.  There seldom is much advanced planning for
what goes into lynx releases.  If someone comes along with javascript 
support built against a relatively recent version of lynx, it would likely
be added.  But I'm not aware of anyone having done anything more than
set up a year or so ago some configure file initial arguments for
specifying the javascript library.  

Are you interested in coding up the Javascript support?  Or funding someone
else to do it?
