That *is* evil!

It also depends on the UTF-8 to not use any 0x80-0x9f octets (which
much UTF-8 does), or, alternatively, on the other layers involved to
not check that the supposedly-Latin-1 text is entirely within the
Latin-1 text range.

It will also cause the terminal to advance by one character position
per UTF-8 character when lynx is expecting it to advance by one
position per octet.  This may or may not break anything, depending on
various factors, probably including some I'm not aware of.
