It was thus said that the Great Martin Keegan once stated:

Hello,
The spec says, at 1.2, that:
"<URL> is a UTF-8 encoded absolute URL, of maximum length 1024 bytes.
If the scheme of the URL is not specified, a scheme of gemini:// is
implied."
Is this supposed to allow one or both of
//hostname.domain:port/filename
hostname.domain:port/filename
as synonyms for
gemini://hostname.domain:port/filename

//hostname:port/filename

Per the URL spec (RFC-3986), the '//' is part of the host portion of theURL.
