In hindsight I think I was unclear, so let me try to restate:
I would just collect every link on the page. I would not devise anintelligent way to filter them. That would be like scraping web pageswith guesses and approximations, which we don't need to do. I would notwant clients to compete on differentiated Gemtext-subscribing behaviorwhen RSS / Atom are the right answer for an upgrade path.
