Hi Wanderer, Yes, absolutely: as someone peripherally involved in accessibility and disability, this is completely correct and desirable. If lynx is the only text-mode browser you test, that's fine - links and elinks also exist and may produce different results. If you yourself are constrained to use a text mode browser for other reasons, then you are already very aware that a graphical browser may be very different. Wikipedia is fairly heavily formatted, as are most wikis so it shouldn't make a lot of difference.
