I can think of a quick way to do this without multi-pass rendering
support.
1. Load the HTML _source_ and put it in the cache.
2. Render the page using cached source.
3. Put the rendered text in cache.
4. Presto! You got two versions of the same URL for one download.
If re-rendering URL is needed, just erase the rendered version in cache,
and repeat steps 1-3. And of course, since raw version of URL is always
available if is in cache, it opens up many other possibilities for lynx
wrt cache post-processing, including multi-pass/recursive rendering.
Since Fote isn't around, there's nothing to stop this from being
implemented. :)
