Another reason for ascii-only: I like to take PARTS of what I see
on the screen, via blackening-via-mouse on my LOCAL terminal/computer
(I use internet via phone to a supplier), and then easy-paste it
into an emacs-window/buffer (merely by doing a "yank" in
emacs).
If it was fancy typeset, I couldn't do that, and still
have ascii stuff put into emacs, for later writing-to-file
and then EGREPPING that file.
So that's ANOTHER reason to keep lynx 100% text-only.

Did you see my suggestion on FRENCH ACCENTS for lynx (via using
simple UPPERCASE if the letter had an accent of either of the
two types, etc)?
Please -- what did you THINK of it? If you WANt such a feature,
or a DIFFERENT feature for it, you have to SAY something --
else will be thought "no one wants it", and that's that.
