	ACK, thanks.

	... Which reminds me that I should try to invest some effort
	into improving the Lynx HTML5 compatibility.  For one thing, it
	doesn't seem to properly handle the "subpage" <div />-in-a-<a />
	links used at https://duck.co/help.

	Though in this case, HTML5 only documented the existing practice
	of providing an equivalent to the non-standard HTTP Refresh:
	header via <meta http-equiv= />.
