Why not use '.gem' as the file extension? Why the encouragement to
support one or both of gmi / gemini instead of adding a new one?
You can use whatever extension you want, or no extension, as long asyour server is configured to serve it as text/gemini. I think the mainreason people didn't use .gem originally is because it's already usedfor an image file format, and maybe also for Ruby gems.
