        Ugh, oh!  Hiram hasn't read the v2.6 online 'h'elp.  See the
section on banner links in the "Users Guide".  Here's the public access
URL+fragment if you are reading this via the archive:

http://www.nyu.edu/pages/wsn/subir/lynx/lynx_help/Lynx_users_guide.html#23

        In addition to the standardized REL attribute values for LINKs
listed there, Lynx (all versions since its creation) recognizes the
the REV attribute value "made" (and v2.n versions recognize "owner"
as a synonym) for LINKS specifying the author of the document.

        LINK with REV/REL attributes is part of the original hyperlinking
schemes, used in the HYPEREZ-like variant of the orginal Lynx, when the
WWW was just an idea in the mind of some physicist at CERN who hacked
for his NeXT as a hobby, and the world was still excited about this neat
new thing called "gopher". :) :)
