Also, regarding TOFU (probably the worst part of the current
specification), there are many other clarifications requested:
* should the client consider the whole certificate or just the public
key? The spec says the whole certificate but I don't see the point if
the rest of the certificate is not used.
* interactions between TOFU and valid certificates. For instance,
should a client disable TOFU when the certificate is valid?
* rewrite the sentence "the previous certificate's expiry date has not
passed" because you don't renew a certificate when it is expired, but
a few days/weeks before.

There are actually two separate issues with fragments:
* Behavior during redirection
* Semantics for text/gemini
