May I suggest calling this ancillary protocol "titan" after the Titan
II missile repurposed by NASA as a launch vehicle for the Gemini
program? This might help distinguish it from the main gemini protocol.

Also, I'm curious as to what this protocol offers over uploading via
sftp or rsync. Just as clients could shell out to $EDITOR or $VISUAL,
couldn't they also create, update, or delete remote content using
existing tools?

Are you trying to design a platform-agnostic method suitable
for non-Unix and non-Linux clients and servers?
