So do I, but that is a job for my word processor, not Lynx, IMHO.

If I understand correctly what you mean by that.  Anyway it is obvious
what the words are, and at least in Japanese, splitting a word at the
end of a line is no problem.  Look in a college library or larger library
for a Japanese newspaper.  No hyphens will tell you that justification
has no meaning.  Because of this, the use of white space takes on a
different meaning(s).

Well, that is where I "failed", i.e., in the case where Japanese and ASCII
are mixed.  I still prefer the hack to not having it since I seldom look
at Japanese documents that have a significant amount of English in them.
