Any reason why port 1958 is chosen? I was thinking if it's adjacent to Gemini (minus TLS) then why not something like 1964? Not unlike XMPP's use of 5222 and 5223.

I imagine *some* currently existing Gemini servers could benefit from serving Mercury alongside it just because they may not need encryption and it would be faster. (Although, I don't know how much TLS slows down the connection process, but on my system Gemini pages seem to take a while to open.)

You say you have implemented Mercury. Does that mean you have a working client and server?
