RE: Lynx and ALT text

Section 9.1 of the HTML 4.0 specification is also relevant here, in as
much as it states that authors can not rely on user agents to render space
immediately following a start tag. Thus, even if guidelines recommended
insertion of a space after the IMG element, it might not be rendered by
some user agents. I think this issue should be sent (1) to the lynx
developers; and (2) to the UI guidelines working group. I would also like
to know whether any other user agents, for example the text-based browser
used under Emacs, have the same problem. If so, then their developers
should be alerted.
