The primary issue with this is that you're relying on English words('LICENSE', 'AUTHOR', 'DATE'), which isn't sustainable or accessible.The same holds for the rel= type tagging. In addition, it isextensible, which (as I've detailed) is not necessary and is against thespirit of Gemini.
Typing out these links is also going to be time-consuming, which isirritating when you're in the middle of writing a post. It's like we'readding boilerplate text; we want to make it as small and unnoticeable aspossible, which is contradictory to using links.
Finally, (and this is a personal opinion), I don't likenon-network-related schemes (except for mailto). I also think that alot of the information is repetitive.
However, I think that using a URL for licenses isn't a bad idea, becauseit removes dependency upon SPDX license identifiers, which areEnglish-oriented. At the same time, I don't know of any licenses whichare written in other languages (please correct me if I'm wrong), whichmeans that anybody licensing their work is using a license written inEnglish, and so they may as well use the SPDX license identifier.
