Similar to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), but for gemini/text links. Could provide protocol assignments profile of registered gemini/text links URI schemes, ala mailcap: GEMCAP. data inline feed inline gopher attachment http attachment https attachment mailto attachment news attachment tag inline Nothing prescriptive, but rather normative. A MAY, RFC wise. This could provide an organizational principle to the URI space. A guidance. A norm. GEMCAP could manifest itself as a network accessible, version controlled, gemini/text document maintained by the community. From the mailcap introduction, dated September 1993: "The electronic mail world is in the midst of a transition from single-part text-only mail to multi-part, multi-media mail. [...] Various parties have demonstrated extremely high-functionality multimedia mail, but the problem of mail interchange between different user agents has been severe. In general, only text messages have been shared between user agents that were not explicitly designed to work together. This limitation is not compatible with a smooth transition to a multi-media mail world."
