Your best bet, if you're serious about this, is to go ahead and
implement your proposal in your client. If others find it useful
they will start using it too
I'm not sure it is something to recommend since it can leads to "de
facto" standards and to "best viewed with client XYZ
7" which were
one of the reasons we ran away from the Web.
Speak for yourself. De-facto standards are social proof that a subset
of the community actually wants and will use a feature. Which is much
more convincing to me than a loud minority arguing for (or against)
something based on principle alone.

Gemini is a principled project."social proof" is not proof, unqualified.

Gemini users vs everyone else is a minority.Numbers games are not effective without substance.
