I agree with this completely. I think Gemini should be a protocol for viewing
content only. I missed all the discussion around inimeg, titan etc. at the time
but I feel similarly about those.

I think a different protocol for filling out forms makes a lot more sense, and
we can work on having gemini clients and form clients play nicely together so
the user experience doesn't suffer from using a different program to fill out a
form.

Adding forms would take us wayyyyy too close to the web in my opinion.
