  Okay, I went ahead and implemented some of this spec.  I didn't botherwith the list stuff as that has to be clarified.  But the rest I did, and sofar, the implementation wasn't *too* bad---about 50 lines, but I'm using alibrary to wrap text which may or may not exist in other languages.

  Anyway, you guys can test out a server rendered version at various widths(you can even specify the width) at:

	gemini://gemini.conman.org/test/testreflow.gemini

  Some notes---the link section may or may not be how clients renderlinks---since the output is pure text, I decided to just make them lookdistinct.  Also, that large block of text (with the header "Very long lines,one after the other") I might change (add a blank line that doesn't exist)but that would complicate the implementation (in case there *is* a blankline in the input), so I'm still thinking on that one.

  But in any case, here's a sample implementation (the link to the code isin the page mentioned above) that I'm presenting for your bikesheddingexcitement.
