I support the idea of not loading anything beyond what the user
asked. Thus no favicons.

But what if the user does ask for favicons?

I do not like the favicon specifications personaly, so I would not activate it if my browser adds support for it.But I did add icons to most of my capsules for people who use it, and I feel forbidding such thing by specification is a strong overstepping of the specification.

I see Gemini as a protocol specification and feel like it should not overstep too much on how the protocol is used. Conventions and specifications based upon Gemini will happen even if you don’t want it.

I even host a list of such specifications here: gemini://gemlog.lanterne.chilliet.eu/specifications.en.gmi (Do not hesitate to send me missing ones)
