The actual numbers are as follow:

? Unspecified: 39628
? us-ascii: 9995
? utf-8: 7090
( 56,713 total)

It's not clear if this pertain to the 36,477 text/gemini documents only, 
or the entire dataset (57,164 url vs. 56,713 encodings. 451 MIA).

Looking at the numbers I guess it covers the entire data set as there are 
more 'Unspecified' than 'text/gemini' to start with.

I'm not sure what these numbers mean at all, but they are not describing text/gemini.

Not sure why we would draw any conclusion from them in regards to  text/gemini.
