i've interpreted mercury similarly, though it doesn't exactly match the thought experiment post that solderpunk made about it. i like this approach as well to be honest. my gemini server project has a similar approach and serves "mercury" or gemini sans tls on port 1958. i assume this isn't canonical by any means, but it amuses me.

good luck with your project!
