Hi Omar,
Yes, I agree with what you are saying.
Of course, in addition to an (appropriately named) header location, having aspecial /gemini.html page. This could give an individual/collectivejustification and more visible signposting to the uninitiated/distracted (to providesome escape velocity).

Is there a (dictionary) repo covering sites which operate for both Gemini
and HTML?

I don't think it's worth the effort to keep a directory of sites that
are available on both Gemini and the Web. It's hard to keep it
up-to-date, to inform geminauts about it and more importantly it's not
like a Gemini capsule and a website on the same will have the same
content. Furthermore, there are people (like me) that have the web site
and the gemini capsule on different subdomains (www and gemini
respectively).
(it hurts to speak about HTTP on a gemini mailing list)
What could be done is use a HTTP header to inform the web browser that
that site is available also over Gemini. This way, the effort wouldn't
be on a bunch of people running a directory, but rather on the server
administrator. Something like a `Gemini-location: <url>'. From my
understanding it's something that the tor project is doing:
% curl --head https://www.torproject.org | grep -i location
Onion-Location: http://2gzyxa5ihm7nsggfxnu52rck2vv4rvmdlkiu3zzui5du4xyclen53wid.onion/index.html
If so, it would be great for browsers to then be whipped into visiting/providing
the Gemini one each time a URI is considered.
