lynx-dev non-breaking space in input forms

I keep seeing those annoying tv ads for lycos, so I thought I would
try it out today to see how lynx-friendly it was.  The first thing
I noticed is that the text entry search field positions the cursor midway
in the field.  I grabbed the source and discovered that for some reason
in the form they have attempted to set the word "for:" apart from the 
selection box and text entry field with &nspc; characters.  But those
cause lynx to position the input cursor in the middle of the text field.
Look at <URL: http://www.lycos.com/> and the 3rd link on the page.
