This is low priority for [spec] but we should rephrase parts of theappendix before finalizing.

So it isn't allowed by the spec and, personally, I don't see how

allowing single-digit response could be a good idea.

Right. So, no more 1 digit response code (i.e. generic success "2" use

to be a thing), and no more default content-type (i.e. text/gemini).

I recall reading a mail from solderpunk (or maybe was someone else)

regarding the fact that initially the codes were one digit only. Now

two are mandatory.

It's like you wrote.

While the appendix still refers to single-digit codes*, meaning the firstdigit of the two digit code, the server still needs to send at least afiller zero as the second digit in a minimal server.

The client can still ignore the second digit if it wants to.

) This might need some improvement in the phrasing of the spec. Referringto a code with two digits, where one of them is a filler, as a"single-digit code" is confusing if you don't know the history of theprotocol.
