It would allow viewport-specific fixed text. For example, two things that server-side wrapping would allow that are currently used in the Gemini speculative spec: - viewport-width-specific dividers (a bunch of dashes) - indented paragraphs or trailing-indent bullet points On the other hand, server-side wrapping has the following drawbacks: - broadcasting viewport width goes against Gemini privacy values - clients can no longer download a gemini blog then view it at different widths - this could open up room to server-side trickery, such as indenting fixed-width content, which I don't think is a good idea Also, speaking of privacy, does Gemini work over Tor?
