If I'm understanding correctly, the "instead of only a path or selector"
is redundant, since relative URLs aren't allowed.
I think it is meant to emphasize that this is how Gemini does virtual
hosting (and also proxying), rather than a combination of a relative
reference in the GET line and a Host: header, as HTTP/1.1 does. So this
sentence is informative rather than normative.
Your interpretation seems right. I initially read it from theprospective of someone who knew relative URLs were allowed, not assomeone approaching a new protocol.
Thanks,
