At current the Gemini spec is dual-purpose, it describes the protocol,

and the text/gemini format.

Whilst gemtext is the "native" format for Gemini (as HTML is to HTTP),

one isn't required for the other to work, they are two distinct

things.

I think that they should be split into two specs, one for the protocol

and one for gemtext.

This is on the roadmap as I understand it, when converting the specification to RFCs it will be split into two RFCs.

But I cannot find where I read that anymore, so maybe I’m not remembering correctly?
