As far as outside appearances go, I wish it used fonts
that fit in more with the rest of Plan 9. That's my main gripe.
The X11 fixed fonts (which it seems to have hard-coded in
various sizes) have always been ugly.
I do think that Links is a demonstration that we could manage
to get a small web browser up and running without too much
code. I'm not too optimistic though, since I fear style sheets
and the like will soon obsolete any such attempt just like tables
obsoleted mothra.

If you take a look, you'll see that I don't need to be any more
specific. Everything about the code is inscrutable.
