(I cannot see any emails from James Henderson, not even in spam.
 I am not sure why. I'm using ProtonMail.)

These are in response to James' original proposal for a new feed
format, but in your responses both of you seem to propose another
new one, in gemtext and CSV respectively.

We already have Atom (or the inferior (so I'm told) RSS), which
are established well specced feed formats with parsers for many
languages. These formats are designed for machine reading which is
their strength, and I think it completely fits within Gemini's
design of "radical familiarity" to continue using an existing
standard.
