The problem is that Lynx does not cache the data stream from the server 
but the data structure with the rendered document (or something in between 
the two).  This came up in the past and Fote had a pretty darn good reason 
why it needs to reload with the current architecture of things.

I can't find the definitive response that I recall, but here are two
okay ones:

   Linkname: Re: LYNX-DEV feature-requests
        URL: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month1296/msg00061.html

   Linkname: Lynx-Dev Archives: Re: Lynx Wish List
        URL: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/lynx-dev/9508/0168.html

I really hope this gets to the list.  I think I've sent a few in the
last few months that don't.  If this has something to do with me not
being subscribed to the list, should we set up a "posters-but-not-
subscribers" list that people can subscribe to from which they receive 
no postings but being on that "list" gives them access to post to the 
lynx-dev list without their posts needing manual moderation.  It's 
trivial to set up in Majordomo... or is that already set up and I'm
just ignorant?
