Why? Things like "publication-date" or "author" are certainly
metadata that most readers would like to know.

That's not what I meant...Preformatted text wouldn't be read out by screenreaders, the alt text would.

```data:text/gemini-metadata+json;charset=ut.......
Welcome!

The "data:text/gemini-metadata+json;charset=ut......." is the partthat would be read out."Welcome!" would be ignored (unless it detects that it's ok to readout, or the user says they want it read out).

OFC this all depends on the implementation of screenreader.
