It was thus said that the Great Sandra Snan once stated:

Right. And going to ../ontario or ../france or ../belgrade might be
legit links from the UK London to other Londons because it's a tree.
And ../../memphis/tennessee for another Westminster. Because it's a tree.
But I still feel you're in my corner when it comes to making my capsule
structure flat. I ended up not sending more than half of my last email
because it strayed off topic a bit (and this lists gets enough rants as
it is) but gemini://idiomdrottning.org/page-vs-capsule

Of the two clients I use (generally portal.mozz.us but sometimes thesimple one I wrote), this link causes them to fail:

gemini://idiomdrottning.org/

Namely because both these clients get a redirection to:

gemini://idiomdrottning.org

but both clients will always send:

gmeini://idiomdrottning.org/

(well, I can speak for my own client which does that, I suspect that'swhat's happening for portal.mozz.us). There's language in RFC-3986 aboutthis particular case (section 6.2.3).
