It would not be difficult to extend Lynx to handle the link
tags (so that keyboard accelerators can go to the next or previous
document).
Note that this is only the same as info for texi2html when run in
the one file per node mode, which is probably not optimal for use
over a network. However, apparently the Mozilla guys are looking
into using the <link ... rel=next> tag for prefetching. The idea
is that that tag would mark the page people would usually read next,
so it can be fetched while the user is reading the current page.
