Excerpts from Joe Shea's message at 5:19 on 31 Aug 96:

Actually, that's not what I said. Lynx has a much smaller percentage 
of the hits. The majority of the non-graphical hits are not coming 
from Lynx but rather from Netscape, MSIE and other graphical browsers 
whose graphics capabilities have intentionally been turned off.

This means tables formats and some other commands that might work
for crap in Lynx could still be tolerable to these non-graphical
users. It does, however, mean that imagemaps and hyperlinked icons
are a very perilous navigation tool unless carefully replicated in
text form.
