Yes, I believe most everyone thinks its inclusion in lynx is a very good
idea.  Nobody, including me, has gone through the trouble of trying to
implement it however.

It is a *lot* of work and the Javascript notion of how a browser works
is substantially different than what lynx already uses.

I am not trying to dissuade you.  I'd love to have some Javascript support
in lynx (I hope you'd also add it to links!)
