Do we have to go PDF? Oh dear God. Okay if they're textual in nature, sure.But you know someone is gonna start uploading scans. I mean people can dothat in HTML kinda, but thankfully it's harder to do.Devin Praterr.d.t.prater at gmail.com

I’d say no. The functionality of Gemini is pretty much done.
Also, that's not line-oriented.
People are of course free to write their own clients that do their own
processing. But the standard is: if you need that, serve Markdown or
HTML documents instead of extending Gemtext.
Side note: I think it's best to serve PDFs instead of other markup
languages because everyone can view PDFs. Many people don't have a
markdown viewer/compiler installed, and serving HTML is, in my opinion,
overkill for Gemini.
