hey,

I was wondering what you think about using TLS with ALPN [1][2]? It eliminate doubt about which protocols a server speaks.

In my Node.js Gemini client & server [3], I use the ALPN protocol identification sequence `gemini` for now, but that seems to be incompatible with all other clients & servers not using it. [4]
