Ohhhh... right you are, I was assuming text/gemini only. My bad.
This sounds like a major overreach. Shouldn't Gemini restrict itself to just text/gemini as far as the Gemini spec goes?
On what ground would Gemini redefine what a text content type is?
A MIME content type of "text" is "text/plain; charset=us-ascii" by default.
I don't quite see the point of redefining how a major piece of MIME is defined. Sounds counterproductive.
