You could say HTML is close to plain text, since it is implemented in 
text, so why not use it there?

The limitation of RFC 5147 is that it is not robust at all to any edits 
at all. And gemini resources are not the type of media that are never 
edited, so the match is not so good IMO.

A semantic based addressing scheme would be more robust, and the most 
obvious structure within a gemini document is its heading structure.
