Lynx would have to implement the de facto document and browser object 
models from Netscape, together with the subsequent, more formally 
standardised ones.

It would need to construct a formal parse tree and render from that, 
even when it changes, rather than using more ad hoc rendering 
strategies, as the document is read.  That is basically a complete 
rewrite of the rendering logic, i.e. the core of Lynx.
