Looks good to me. I noticed there's a lone tab on row 322; maybe fix thattoo.

Hey folks,
At gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification-modified.gmi you
will find a modified version of the current spec. If you download it,
along with the current spec from
gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.gmi, you can `diff`
them to see the changes. These changes are a tentative version of those
I want to make before making a new official update and then, at last,
freezing the spec again. I'm making them available now so people can
point out oversights or suggest improvements.
The changes are:
* Fix a section numbering error
* Define the gemini URI scheme, and explicitly disallow the userinfo
subcomponent of the authority component, protecting us from Petite
Abeille's "auto cookie" construct.
* Add a minimal definition of alt text to the definition of preformatted
mode toggle lines, to address accessability and searchability
concerns, as well as to close, or at least ameliorate, the
extensibility loophole identified by Katarina Eriksson.
* A simplification of the client certificate status codes and details,
including removing transient client certificates as a formally defined
construct with prescribed behaviour.
I hope that the alt text and client certificate stuff can be augmented
by best practices established outside the spec itself to fill in
details.
If people think we can do a better job of the above changes, I'm happy
to hear about it, but I don't want to consider any non-trivial changes
other than the above before a nice long freeze.
Cheers,
Solderpunk
