Apparently, I sent this only to John Cowan and not to the list.

.Previously, on this list, we discussed having the alt text be on the first `and parser hints be on the last`, but I'm not sure anything came of that particular discussion other than some try-outs in a vacuum.
Well, The Spec also says that alt-text in the closing preformat line MUST be ignored by clients.
Those are mode toggle switches, not block markers.[1] When the first one is encountered, it switches to "preformated" mode and the alt-text is an alternative to the "preformated" text. If there is a second toggle, it will switch to "gemtext" mode and providing an alternative to that doesn't make much sense.
[1] Implementing them as foldable blocks might be a good idea, though. But that is an internal detail in the client.

Third time writing and trying to send this e-mail. I recently switched e-mail service and the android app is even worse than Gmail.
