I know that there is no way in Gemini right now to check the integrity of
pages. However, it would be nice for this to possible.
I think this feature is pretty much required for the protocol to be taken
seriously,
The Web does not have such a feature. Does it mean it is not taken
seriously?
The web however has a Length header in HTTP. The point isn't to perform overly complicated checks, but to be able to somewhat tell if the whole file got transferred successfully.
HTML also seems to allow integrity checks sometimes, such as in CSS and script tags (IIRC)
