Hello,
Section 5.4.2 of the Gemini spec states:
clients MUST NOT automatically make any network connections as part of
displaying links whose scheme corresponds to a network protocol
adding the rest of that paragraph:
[...] (e.g. links beginning with gemini://, gopher://, https://, ftp:// , etc.).
This reads to me as though automatically displaying links _without_ a network
protol (e.g. gemini://, gopher://, https://, etc.) would be okay. That sounds
like it applies to relative links pointing to a resource on the same domain
with the same protocol.
[...]
This sounds like an implicit thumbs-up to data:image/png;base64,… URLs, for better or for worse.
