To my knowledge no, as WebKit is made for graphical presentation of HTML code
and you still would need some translation step. Using lynx would avoid
re-inventing the wheel.

That would be possible. My patch so far is just a proof-of-concept and can be
expanded. My idea would be to keep it automagically if possible, i.e
automatically falling back to e.g. links2 if lynx is not available.

It is not only about malicious HTML code, but also about really badly formatted
HTML code such as spam, mails from people with bad taste regarding fonts and
colors, purists who despise any formatting at all, but like to keep a basic
text structure etc.
