The right way to do this would be to use link elements with appropriate rel= attributes (which would have to be standardised) in the head element. You might just convince the people using low graphics versions to do this, but I don't think the printer frienly people want automatic selection of that version in interactive mode, and won't normally have an accessibility brief. There are also proposals to increase the amount of data that browsers send about themselves, but this causes privacy concerns and, also, run of the mill web designers have not made proper use of content negotiation in the past, and some have even just generated "please upgrade" messages instead (although many of these are the result of <noframes> or <noscript> elements processed completely on the client side. If you want to discuss such hinting, the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list (follow links from http://www.w3.org/WAI/ (second time today!) would probably be about the best place to look, although most designers will never look there, but then you posted to a Lynx list. Otherwise, all you could really do is create some sort of pattern match mechanism, but you would need some programming skills to configure it and would get some false posiitives, especially if you relied on a compromise pre-configuration. ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
