It seems your are suggesting implementing equivalent of http headers
that are key: values pair and are not part of the document but is transmitted
in the reply. Currently gemini only returns the status code, the content type
and potentially the language (this is not mandatory).
That's an endless rabbithole that the Gemini protocol should better
not explore because it allows endless extendability.

This isn't headers of any sort, it's document metadata, similar toHTML's <head> and <meta>.
