Eh, I couldnt care less if it does or not. What would the big benefits be if it does?

Hello,
I was wondering. Right now, Gemini uses a non-registered protocol
schema (gemini://) and a non-registered MIME-type (text/gemini).
The specification is a self-identified "pseudo-specification", and is
often not specific enough, leading to a number of de facto standards,
and the main website took a descriptive approach, and simply
collected[1] these "standards".
I understand that this is a very young protocol, but I wanted to post
this question anyway. Do you think Gemini will ever become a standard?
Even if not a standard published by a big organization like the ISO,
ECMA, IETF or IEEE, will text/gemini and the gemini url scheme ever be
registered with the IANA?
Cheers,
