I think the following is most reasonable plan: If the spec says to strip trailing spaces: anyway other browsers don't strip trailing spaces, so there *should* be a lynx settings that forces it not to strip, independant of what standards says. If the spec says not to strip trailing spaces or says nothing: I think we can just disable trailing space stripping without adding additional setting. As for what spec says - it seems HTML4.0 spec says nothing about trailing space stripping.. May be other versions of the spec are more explicit? Anyway, CGIs that care strip trailing spaces theirself IMO - so no problem of not stripping trailing spaces I think. > -- > Thomas E.
