not always, but should to.

probably Yes.
It was proposed just before the releasing 2.8,
concerning case-insensitive search, but nobody
have contributed the mapping table (we find another workaround).
I personaly use PC (cp866 for display charset) and the remote terminal
running lynx have LOCALE at "ru_RU.KOI8-R" what should lynx do here?
Probably set language support only if locale match display charset?
