I support this very strongly.  I can't tell you how many comments I get
saying, "you made a typo on this page" where the Lynx user assumes that
their comment is going to the document owner (like it should).

I think that the document owners would really appreciate getting this
information :)  Rather than me having to return the message and say.
"That document has no defined owner, you might try sending your comment
to webmaster@host, but there's no guarantee that it will get through."
Most people don't bother at that point.
