Strictly speaking, those parameters are supposed to be limited to the
ones defined in the RFC for the corresponding type, right?

Not that we're necessarily playing by all the rules here.  text/gemini
is an unregistered, experimental type and so I think strictly speaking
we should be text/x.gemini or text/prs.gemini or something...

Don't tell the IETF!
