I didn't know Gemtext allows those. To me, for both , before and 
after, this
would be a file. The client should not guess what could be a 
hostname or a
directory. I thought, to switch hostnames in a document, you would 
have always
needed to write the full "gemini://". But with that scheme-less 
syntax, that
notation is even shorter.

Interesting resource, thank you.
