The only problem with this could be that it IS possible to have something
in those first 3 columns including a link. A PRE section is aligned at
the left margin, TAB ALIGN=0, and any element with ALIGN=LEFT attributes
will align on the left margin without leaving the small gutter on the
side...
The way I read Philip's "provided it's outside a link area" was that
there would be logic to check the neighborhood of the mouse position
for links and not execute PREV_DOC unless the coast is clear.
That's more graphical awareness than Lynx runs with, no?
