It must fail because there is no mechanism to convert iso-2022-jp to
utf-8 in current Lynx code.

I think adding iso-2022-jp to utf-8 support is too large task for me.
I'm hesitating to do it because I don't have enough time.
# I think that first, I have to add the definition in UCdomap.[ch],
# then check the incluences on existing codes and then introduce the
# conversion.
I don't know well but if utf-8 terminal emulator will become standard
in the near future, Lynx might be an outdated program for Japanese.
# Though we can use Lynx with TTYConv utility.
