I'll own that. It would be nice, but I don't see it ever happening because smoll. I mean I respect it, and I guess we'd have to make
yet another spec for one step up from Gemini but not quite HTML/CSS/JS, but too many standards...
There's one more point that we should probably consider: gemini isactually something clearly different from the web. It provides almost acompletely different experience. We should treasure it.
I mean, if all we do is trying to replicate the web (or being toosimilar to it -- first-citizen markdown would do it) why would someoneuse Gemini at all? At that point why don't use the web?
It's sound harsh but how could you sell gemini if it was just a fakeweb?
Being different is what can make people want to give it at least a try.Maybe they end up disliking it and going back to the web, that's fine.But why even bothering trying something when you know that's only fake?Meh

I thought I was way overstepping my bounds when suggesting multi-level
lists for Gemtext in my post but now people want to de-facto require
full-fledged markdown in Gemini clients; my simple and miniscule
suggestion doesn't seem so bad now lol.
