I hoped to not have to say it like this, I wanted to hide behind formal language and politeness, but I don't care about his opinion at all. He owns a website and a capsule, that's all. He didn't write the implementations and the capsules. He can do whatever he wants with his website, but for the rest, let the community decide. And the community has pretty much settled on the original spec, so...
The difference to other standards is that we have no versions. When the C standards committee (which, by the way, has representatives of the major implementations), they release a new revision, but don't retroactively change anything. That's not possible with Gemini.

The C standard is an ISO standard. Gemini is not. So the comparisondoesn't make sense, especially with the committee comment.
