I think that makes sense for Gopher, but not for Gemini. As we saw a dayor two ago, Gemini servers are designed to serve many files that are nottext/gemini, and are actually doing so. Indeed, there is no reason that anHTTP server can't serve text/gemini as well, and hopefully an HTTP proxywill recognize text/gemini content and pass it through unchanged.
I feel pretty confident that the IETF will want them to be split.
