Scheme Section 2 quibble

[colecmac at protonmail.com]

I think you're confusing what that section is talking about. I believe it is
referring to sending a URL for a request only. It's saying, "when you make a
request, you can leave the gemini:// part out". I don't think it speaks to
links in documents at all, which are governed by the URL RFC.

I agree it's confusing however, because of the use of the word "scheme", while also
including the colon and slashes. I think it's totally fine that those characters
can be left off in the request, but this line should be more clear. How
about saying:

> If the URL does not begin with `gemini://`, then that prefix is implied.
> Leaving off just the `gemini:` portion and starting with `//` also implies
> the gemini scheme, in accordance with the URL spec.

That might be too wordy, and perhaps requiring that all request URLs have a //
would be better. But I don't want to break backwards compatibility.
