lynx is showing the source (comparing with opera which also starts with
the doctype line).  If you download the page (with lynx), that line shows
up in the HTTP headers, e.g.,

<!-- X-URL: http://women.alioth.debian.org/faqs/ -->
<!-- Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2004 10:55:07 GMT -->
<BASE HREF="http://women.alioth.debian.org/faqs/";>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.or
<html lang="en">
<head>
