Is that not a warning from Gopher developers past that Type 'i'
shouldn't be used like that? I like having long text and navigation
separated in the traditional Gopher way, it makes keyboard
navigation much more practical than on the Web.
Also I hate always needing up-to-date Web browsers to browse the
Web, so I'd prefer Gopher content to stick with the formatting
which works in old Gopher clients anyway, ideally back to the
1990s. UMN Gopher is a good role model for the old ways.
I imagine it bearing a sign:
You are entering UMN Gopherspace
No pseudo-webpages, UTF-8, or long lines past this point!
