Hi Michael,
first thing is that every gemini-site should avoid to put the user into a situation where the "back" button is the only way out, by providing arbitrary links.

I disagree with this, there are many times I don't want to add a backlink, and it's not always possible if you have non-gemtext content.A hard-coded "back" link is flawed anyways, as the server has no cluewhere the user came from. It can only be an "up" link or go to themost common place that this page is linked from.
