Part of the reason is that it would require a complete rewrite of
the parsing and rendering engines. For modern GUI compatibility,
it would also require abandoning a render once policy and have it
re-render parts when, say, a link became visited.
A pre-requisite for CSS is that you should have a complete parse
tree in memory. Even in Sort of SGML mode, Lynx takes short cuts on
the parse tree. In tag soup mode, I don't think one really exists.
Because of tag soup, in the real world, it would need to implement the
same rules as IE does for creating a parse tree from malformed HTML
(IE doesn't actually create a tree in that case, but I think that the
CSS processing can find a unique tree in the more complex structure).
Like with full scripting support, it would almost certainly be better
to produce a text only version of Gecko than adapt Lynx. (Amaya already
has a text only mode, although it renders that through a GUI environment.)
