Semantically (and stated in RFC-3986) they are separate resources. For a
fun time, try the following two links:
gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/doc1
gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/doc1/
Spoiler: they aren't the same document.
-spc (Also, consider CGI scripts, they don't *have* to have an extension,
at least on GLV-1.12556 ... [1])
[1] Not to say those two links are done via CGI.
