Points taken.  Most are a result of many contributors over many years,
before the internationalization was added.  Some rebuttals:

*)  The proper way to suggest changes to Lynx code is to submit
patches.  Saying it's bad doesn't fix it.

*)  There have been discussions about things like 'd'ownload.  It's
harder to fix than creating message catalogs.

*)  None of your complaints have been voiced by the more than
half-dozen language contributors.  Do you have a langauge other than
English you can translate to?
