Regarding:

Heck, wiki nerds could write their own clients which can launch an

editor pointed at a local copy of the resource being viewed, then

calculate a diff in some format and submit *that* as a query, and the

wiki software the server runs could apply the diff.

and:

It should also be very easy to write an app targetted at "non-technical"

authors which lets them submit chunks of writing up to 2 KiB or so, with

an "append" link at the submission confirmation page to submit a follow

up chunk. It wouldn't necessarily be the smoothest experience in the

world, but if most content could be written in a single request and 99%

with one or two "append" requests, I think it would be usable enough.

I realise this works a heck of a lot better for textual content thanbase64-encoded binary content, where uploading, say, a JPG photographwould require many, many chunks. I think I'm okay with this. Gemini isdeliberately and unapologetically a text-first protocol.
