My date was a guess, might go further back.  Given the number of 
developers who  do  track lynx frequent updates, its used in site testing 
by professionals  across the board, you might be surprised.  As I said 
earlier, the new York Times ran an article suggesting its use, this year.
You do not follow the development of any tools, even your own.  that 
might suggest you are in no position to comment on limitations that  might 
not  even exist, let alone project your idea of cutting edge onto a tool.
Goodness there are some lynx compiles that can submit script buttons if 
those buttons are designed to manage the enter key.
