Out of the box?

I mean precisely that -- that I've never seen tables when
using Lynx, even on other machines.

Try Yahoo! at http://www.yahoo.com/
Or the Open Directory Project at http://dmoz.org/

These sites list their categories in table format, but Lynx
displays their categories as just being listed vertically
down the length of the page, one below the other.

It's not a big deal or anything.  I like Lynx, but tables
just improve a page's appearance, and I'd think they'd be
workable with a text browser.
