With stuff like data:, feed:, tag:, geo:, and the myriad other
"non-locational schemes", all of this goes out the window. What is a
client supposed to do with all these?
Either a client understands an URI scheme, say http/https, and knows what to do with it (e.g. turn it into an interactive hyperlink of sort, pretty print it somehow, etc), or it doesn't, in which case just display it 'as is'.
In short, only decorate scheme you know, leave the rest alone, and render it as static text.
Never hide anything.
Put another way, text/gemini is fundamentally text. Nothing more, nothing less. And that's good enough for a minimal client.
More advance clients could choose to render links to the best of their abilities, say gemini:// links are turned into navigational aids of sort.
And that is that.
