I was browsing in Bombadillo and just noticed something:If I follow a link without a scheme, it just assumes it's a relativelink. This works fine when it actually is a relative link, but whatabout this?

makeworld.gq/gemlog/ Link to gemlog

As humans, most of the time we would assume that to be a scheme-lesslink, but Bombadillo will actually try and resolve that as a relativelink. And why not? It very well could be.

I am just writing these wrong, and scheme-less links should always startwith `//`? The spec says "a scheme of gemini:// is implied", so I assumedhaving those would be redundant.
