Strong ACK. - Same for tables; w3m renders tables such as slashdot

Nope, I for example hate everything tab-like.
I wouldn't object it a configure time option, though.

What's so hard about using screen? :)
Additionally, there're enough Ctrl-N combos used up already;
especially when using lynx within screen (Ctrl-P here).
