: I agree.
Security issues can be addressed by authentication provided by the
webserver.

You can still run lynx without a network. If you network configuration
(localhost interface I assume..) is hosed quite a number of things might
stop working.
: Requiring a web server for reading documentation is overkill.
Its very economical (easy use of very popular technology) and provides an
universally accessible and standardized interface. Note that we are not
talking about apache but about a small light weight webserver like boa.
