When Lynx no longer supports CJK is the day when I stop updating.
They're not as vocal as I am, but Lynx has a large following of
Korean and Chinese users.  I suspect that the largest potential
user base will be Chinese if the politics there ever lighten up.
All I can promise is to offer every spare moment (they seem to
get fewer and fewer as the years go by :( to help the developers
maintain support for Japanese.  pubLynx (telnet 163.51.110.141;
login lynx) is set up for rendering Japanese documents; LYMessages
_ja.h, mostly translated by Takuya Asada, is available through
pubLynx or http://163.51.110.11/lynxdev/LYMessages_ja.h.gz.
Write off list if you ever need help with the language aspect.
