[spec] mercury highlights ☿️

[Ben]

Any reason why port 1958 is chosen? I was thinking if it's adjacent to 
Gemini (minus TLS) then why not something like 1964? Not unlike XMPP's 
use of 5222 and 5223.

I imagine *some* currently existing Gemini servers could benefit from 
serving Mercury alongside it just because they may not need encryption 
and it would be faster. (Although, I don't know how much TLS slows down 
the connection process, but on my system Gemini pages seem to take a 
while to open.)

You say you have implemented Mercury. Does that mean you have a working 
client and server?
