Re: LYNX-DEV extension languages for Lynx

[Larry W. Virden, x2487]

There have been requests over the past years for a scripting language.
The primary one, as folk can imagine, is JavaScript.  Tcl has also been
requested several times, and I can imagine the Perl and Python camps
also having some interest.

We've been told for years that the internals of Lynx need redesigned if
a multi-pass process for table generation is ever going to be implemented.
To date, no one has stepped forward with the energy to take on that task.
I suspect that support for HTML 4 and XML will also be a healthy challenge.

Is there any way that the varying interests could all be served by first
a redesign of the innards of lynx, and THEN folk splintering off to implement
their favorite feature?
