  First off, thank you for this.

  Hmm ... because I know of *one* page that is text/gemini and is *not*
UTF-8 encoded:

	gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/torture/0013

  I'm guessing you don't crawl the Gemini Client Torture Test then?

  What this tells me is that the fears of non-UTF-8 text/gemini pages are
probably unfouned.  For now.  

  I'd recommend keeping the charset on text/gemini.  For the exceeding rare
case of a non-UTF-8 text/gemini page, a very simplistic client that doesn't
want to convert the text can just report an error to the user, or at least
offer an option to display and/or save the content.
