I don't think we need a 'metadata proposal' to achieve the goals we're
looking for. The format conventions are already mostly in place; we
just need to formalize them.

FWIW, I personally agree with the trust of your position.

Even though I personally prefer using the existing capabilities of the link construct, which is the only structured artifact in text/gemini, e.g.:

Furthermore, all the RELs & schemas are already defined:

Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Schemeshttps://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/uri-schemes.xhtml

Link Relationshttps://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xml

There is literally nothing for Gemini to invent.

Just use what already exists.
