Am I correct in saying that as it stands there is no built-in way
for users to submit content via a multi-line free text field and
that it completely relies on secondary means to get content onto
the system running the Gemini server?

You can submit such kind of data via INPUT. Section 3.2.1 makes itclear IMHO that you can submit line breaks and such("reserved characters") if they are percent encoded. Lagrangesupports using shift+return for line breaks in the input field, andI assume the line breaks are then duly percent encoded, although Ihave not checked.

Of course that still leaves out how to edit stuff, and also themaximum length of the whole URL. So in theory it is possible, butnot really practical.
