RFC 3986, section 6.2.3 says "In general, a URI that uses the genericsyntax for authority with an empty path should be normalized to a pathof "/"." Note the "in general". The rest of section 6.2.3 explainsthat is is scheme-specific.

seemssilent about "gemini:" rules. 1.2 says "The path, query and fragmentcomponents are allowed and have no special meanings beyond thosedefined by the generic syntax."
(The Lupa crawler currently normalizes <gemini://example.com> to<gemini://example.com/> but I wonder if I'm right.)
