In particular, HTML5 was developed by WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application 
Technology Working Group).  The Applications part of that name indicates 
that it is fundamentally intended for client side scripting, and 
therefore will never get good support from Lynx, as a Lynx that could 
handle it would be so fundamentally different from the current code, 
that it would be better to start over, from the code of a graphical browser.
