I'm abstaining from commenting on the rest, but for the status code:

(As an aside: there is a part of me that loves discussions/debates around what the right HTTP status code is for a given situation... there's another part of me that dies every time...)
404, 204 and 410 I think are definitely the wrong codes.A 3xx redirect would be bad as it may cause confusion for non-geminifolks and browsers.451 & 403 would ~kinda make sense.
I'm going to add to the list these two, which I think may somewhat fitwhen someone is trying to access gemini-only content via HTTP:
406 Not Acceptable:
The requested resource is capable of generating only content not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request.
405 Method Not Allowed:
A request method is not supported for the requested resource; for example, a GET request on a form that requires data to be presented via POST, or a PUT request on a read-only resource.
I'm not expert on HTTP though :p so I'm likely to be wrong.
