No. I don't know much about Lynx. Do you have a link to this 
evidence. Google wasn't able to turn up anything relevant, nor did I 
find anything on the Lynx web site.

Lynx is actually a very important (and often unappreciated) browser 
to support for reasons of accessibility. If it were the major 
stumbling block to adoption of digest authentication, it might be 
worth putting in the time to fix it.
