Thanks for the tip, Thomas.

I still find the behavior confusing; i.e. that the name is important rather than the content.
  "-dump dumps the formatted output of the default document"
implies the document is HTML, does not mention other possible interpretations or file formats,
and does not mention -force_html or the *.html convention or why there is
a need for -force_html.

If you do not wish to change the behavior, please consider updating the man page
to document the conventions/assumptions that lynx -dump makes.
