IMO lynx with justification and hyphenation enabled looks very nice - as
'man' does. IMO hyphenation+justification+backspaces makes lynx extraordinary
html->txt conversion tool. At least I haven't heard about analogs to this, and
I proud to make lynx first in this area.

I'll find a time to defend my position anyway - probably'l do it at night.
Having my position defended ("the support for unicode can be implemeneted
later"), I'll have less code to hack with - since everything else (hyphenation
of plain english text ) is implemented. So, the 'time defending' to
'time writing additional code if defense fails' ratio is less than one IMO for
me.
