Now this may disagree with the HTML standards, and if so, it must be
fixed.  Otherwise, setting the first one makes sense if none of the others
in the same group are set.

In other words, unless it conflicts with the letter of the law in the 
standards, I'd say Lynx is doing the right thing and the other browsers
aren't.
