Math Notation in Gemini?

documents containing the fragments, like how Lagrange handles inline image 
expansion on link select?  I do see the appeal, but I don't want to 
introduce the weight of Roff or MathML or TeX into the Gemtext format spec.

I don't see why you couldn't have a client that could expand rendered 
math notation. You could just store it in the gemtext as a plaintext 
block with some kind of header/alt text that the client could read.
