OK, some additional items to this discussion that should be of interest to 
many ...

1.)	Links (with an i) now supports link numbering. Turn this on under 
View then html options. It's a check box there.

2.)	I have not tried USPS, but I have tried both Verizon and Verizon 
Wireless in the past day. In both these instances I see an old familiar 
problem. The web site complains that I have not enabled SSL support, and 
tells me that at least 128-bit encryption is important to the security of 
my data.

Unfortunately, they're not really testing for SSL encryption, but browser 
sniffing. In other words, they violate the very security principles they 
proclaim. One can demonstrate this by providing any contacts at the 
offending site reports from SSL testing sites such as:

	http://www.modssl.org/related/testing.html

3.)	We should ask the developers of Links (with an i) to provide an 
html option to move the cursor in tandem with hyperlink focus. This would 
greatly enhance the usability of links for blind users. This is the 
"show_cursor" feature of lynx (with a y),and links (with an i) could 
easily provide it, so the more of us that ask, the liklier we are to get 
it.
