In hindsight I think I was unclear, so let me try to restate:

I would just collect every link on the page. I would not devise an
intelligent way to filter them. That would be like scraping web pages
with guesses and approximations, which we don't need to do. I would not
want clients to compete on differentiated Gemtext-subscribing behavior
when RSS / Atom are the right answer for an upgrade path.
