I want to propose to drop the double slashes from the gemini URL
syntax.
No.
One of the reasons Gemini uses URLs is because the URL syntax is a*standard*. Gemtext allows linking to things that are accessible throughany other protocol for which there exists a URL scheme. In order for adifferent-protocol link to be handled by a client for that protocol, itis important that the link is a valid, standard URL. And it does notmake sense to use nonstandard fake URLs for gemini links and real URLsfor other protocols.
