There seems to be a bug in how it handles some HTML, the following, from a
WAISgate response of a wais index of a mail log, doesn't print the anchor,
simply the 'score: ' line. You can click on the empty space as a hot spot
though.

Looks to me like this (the un-escaped '<') is the fault of the
WWW/WAIS gateway? I've tested this with the linemode browser,
Violawww, and Midaswww and all of them choke too -- and quite
reasonably, I'd say. (Although, Dan, I haven't tried libHTML on this
yet.)
