They are only loosely related, in that 80 columns of monospace text,
while fully serviceable in a text terminal, is not good typography on a
screen that's capable of displaying something more similar to a printed
page.

But separating these issues: maybe we should just specify Gemini maps as
max 70 columns of monospaced, unflowed text. If people want better
typography, they can send text/markdown.

My apologies for any roughness in my writing today; I've got a pretty
bad cold.
