So in Gemini, I prefer to see a file extension in the URL.To clarify - for linked resources in gemini (png/jpg/pdf/mp3 etc) - just show me the extension of every other type that is linked to. I can make a calculation whether to activate the target or not. Might it be large or slow, will it launch some other application etc.

For the primary nodes and default content type of the gemini hypertext (text/gemini) I just need the name of the thing, and I don't need to know how it was generated.
