so i can't emphasise too strongly: send in a patch for 2-8-4dev.1
which gets even the TINYEST BIT of JS working with Lynx
& the rest will begin to follow from you or others.
over time, you seem to have lots of brainwaves & initiatives,
but most don't get implemented & many not started (big smile etc),
so just make sure you get a bit of JS support into the big pipeline.

well, send it in & maybe someone else will improve it.
