I think he's complaining that it doesn't show _xml_ source. The missing
"aha!" here is that the _server_ is sending different pages, according
to the wishes of the browsers. Opera tells it that "application/xml" is
an acceptable data type; Lynx doesn't. The source sent to Lynx is
"text/html" because that's what Lynx offers to parse.
