as a volunteer co-op, lynx-dev never really has plans.
things get achieved when someone with the necessary skill
has the interest & time to work them thro'.
if you are good enough at C to attempt this, feel welcome to send a patch.
questions -- simple or advanced -- will probably get intelligent answers,
but the basic rule of Lynx development is DIY.
