Well, it's not really within the scope of the Gemini spec to explicitly
forbid things like this. If people want to write clients which do it,
nobody can stop them. If people want to do it, I strongly encourage
them to make it an option the user can easily disabled. Some people,
myself included, hold the "one request per page" principle in very high
regard, so I probably wouldn't add this to a client of mine, even if I
had a graphical one where it made sense.

Useless network usage...
