Yes, I get the complaint about having to read anciliary sources to
"properly" implement the protocol (my biggest beef---not many bot writers
have bothered reading the "best practices" document sitting along side the
specification [2]), but as I mentioned above, there are a ton of corner
cases that need to be considered when implementing the protocol that aren't
mentioned in either document (like text with no whitespace---how do you deal
with formatting?).

Not strictly on-topic, but I don't think a Gemtext document withoutwhitespace is a corner-case because it doesn't need to be treateddifferently at all. It's just a document with only one line;parse the first three characters and format it accordingly.
