lynx-dev lynx vs. links vs. elinks?

[clemensF]

just curious.  lynx can be trusted to cover the entire kuddelmuddel called
"world wide web".  it is well represented by Thomas Dickey.  links is now
what many hope for:  browsing in text-mode and also capable of
javascript and graphics, running native code for each platform, of which
are many.  elinks has no javascript, but lua and is very alive under
professional-class development.

Mikulas Patocka is for links, Petr "pasky" Baudis for elinks.  there are
other projects whose goal is "good surfing":

Dillo Web Browser :: Home Page, small, graphical
http://dillo.cipsga.org.br/

there's also netrik, text mode browser with ecma javascript
http://netrik.sourceforge.net/

the three names associated with their respective projects form the
"personality" of (the development of) their products.  mikulas patocka
moreover belongs to Twibright Labs
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~clock/twibright/links/index.html, pasky
claims to be^W^W^Wis of value to the development of IPv6 :)  he's doing a
great job, though, and never came back those who set out about who's
ghostwriting for pasky.  what a sad story ...  thomas dickey maintains lynx
and vile and xterm and ..., also doing a very good job.

my questions:

x.  do the people named in this document cooperate actively?
x.  will we see a cross ported version of the best of links <-> elinks?

i would love a textbrowser having SSL, javascript and lua and graphics,
100% compatible to all those sites i must browse to.
