After discussions with the people of Lynx, it seems there is no easy solution since Apache's ErrorDocuments are not HTTP redirections (despite what I said in the subject) and so the client has no way of knowing the base URL. So, is there a way to ask WML to replace $(HOME) (HOME is defined as ~.) by a server-relative link and not a relative-one ? A command-line option? 

Or should I redefine HOME for my ErrorDocuments? Since WML does not accept 'HOME=' or 'HOME=""', I had to do a 'HOME=http://www.pasteur.fr' which I do not find elegant.
