Re: [Lynx-dev] Website shows blank page in Lynx browser

[Jude DaShiell]

What would be really neat if it happened is if Tim Burnersley went and 
did a class action suit on all javascript using websites requiring 
specific performance where those sites had to remove permanently all 
html since they had made his html inaccessible by using their javascript 
and if he ultimately won in court all of ecommerce on the internet would 
be seriously threatened.  Now, we all know none of that is ever going to 
happen but I think it would be seriously neat if all of it did happen.
