I'm sure they do, but not when using them thru wwwoffle, as with
wwwoffle, it doesn't matter if you use lynx or even wget, you are
still going to get included images too. You must to things like
$ wwwoffle -d0 URL
to not get included images.
Indeed, what if one's computer has one sighted user, and one blind
user.  Could a single wwwoffled and wwwoffle.conf file accommodate
both without getting useless images for the blind user, and without
him needing to leave his browser to use wwwoffle -d0 etc.?
"My browser plays by the rules (standards) but still I end up getting
images" he says.

Hmmm, perhaps wwwoffle should pay attention to browser generated
request headers as an additional filter of what else not to get.
Perhaps wwwoffle would then be '100% standards compliant"?
