I know at least one hypertext purist who would argue that the web isn't
hypertext either, because it doesn't meet many of the standards of
Project Xanadu. Web links aren't bi-directional, they can be broken, and
there's no transclusion.

I think we don't need to get hung up on whether Gemtext is hypertext.
