The problem is that most D6 sites are not accessible with lynx, but
drupal.org is driven by D6, so I am trying to get solution of fixing
this problem

Well,
I used lynx for years because  until 3 4 years ago, for visual impaired
was difficult to use firefox or internet explorer.
Now, if things are not changed, the major problem of lynx is that was
unable to manage java or javascript. Do you think that the login form
use a javascript?
If yes, this problem could be solved implementinga login alternative
method that doesn't use javascript.
Lynx supports well cookies.

I imagine this is not very important for many people, but I must
underline that drupal is the more accessible big cms  that I have used.
