  Short answer:  no.

  Long anser:  If you want to explore alternative transport security
methods, go to town with an implementation, get the crypto community to pass
it and *then* present it to the Gemini community.  At that point, the
discussion can commence.

One of the primary motivations of Gemini was adding TLS to gopher, and to
avoid the whole http: vs https: that infests the web.
