I’d say no. The functionality of Gemini is pretty much done. People are of course free to write their own clients that do their own processing. But the standard is: if you need that, serve Markdown or HTML documents instead of extending Gemtext.

HTML with embedded Flash content, it's even better.

HTML has always been a failure, it has been written by corporationsthat want the possibility to load any proprietary "binary" in adocument.

Not to mention Javascript.
