Maybe in the source files held on the server, but this could also be
specified on a per-directory or even per-user basis.  But this is just
server implementation detail, isn't it?  The text/gemini response that's
actually served doesn't accrue a header.

A gopher analogy: none of the "gopher maps" served up for my gopherhole
look anything like the source files from which they're generated. But
that has nothing to do with RFC-1436.

It's just a parameter in the content type string, is it really
introducing extensibility when servers are already free to add as many
of these as they like (up to the character limit), and clients are free
to ignore them?
