I don't consider the current behavior broken.  It is how PREV_LINK and
NEXT_LINK always worked in lynx, as long as I know.  I don't want Down
Arrow suddenly to start skipping pages - I am used to being able to
use Down Arrow repeatedly and eventually see all the text.

Whether the functions should be named differently is another question.

You may want a new function with the behavior you prefer.  If such a
modified ALWAYS_NEXT_LINK existed I would probably map it to <tab>
and leave Down Arrow alone.
