Interesting. My question would be "Does Lynx oddly treat DIV as an 
inline element instead of a block element?" I always thought that 
DIVs automatically create linebreaks unless overridden by CSS. I 
mean, isn't that why all those awful HTML emails have 
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV> and such -- to simulate linebreaks?
