Package: lynx
Version: 2.9.0dev.6-1

(Please tell upstream:) Lynx has a big bug.
It can't render the first two correctly. Only the last two.
No other browser has this problem!

INS and DEL are used to markup sections of the document that have been
inserted or deleted with respect to a different version of a document
(e.g., in draft legislation where lawmakers need to view the changes).

These two elements are unusual for HTML in that they may serve as either
block-level or inline elements (but not both). They may contain one or
more words within a paragraph or contain one or more block-level
elements such as paragraphs, lists and tables.
