I make only a few assumptions with my pages (but then they are not
"commercial" are they :)

* Frames
* Tables
* No scrolling marquees (only supported by IE3 and above, NS4)
* No web bots
* Few images (saves bandwidth)
* No Java/javascipt
* Designed to work on 640x480 minimum res

(I thought the later versions of Lynx supported frames/tables :)

I use FrontPage Express plus the HTMLib to do my coding.
