about this?

makeworld.gq/gemlog/ Link to gemlog
I am just writing these wrong, and scheme-less links should always start
with `//`? The spec says "a scheme of gemini:// is implied", so I assumed
having those would be redundant.

The // are part of the authority section of the URI, which includes thehost. If this weren't the case, the intepretation of the URI would be ambiguous.

To specify the host but not the scheme you need=

//makeworld.gq/gemlog/

Sean's client torture test is actually a great source of information onthings like this, and any client that passes it is going to behave inthe same way. It'd be nice to have it made explict somewhere else too.
