The plugins though are plugins by schemes, and only implement the file
formats as a part of the schemes implementations.

Is it possible to implement file format plugins independently from
scheme plugins? It seem to me that it would be better to do so; e.g.
a Gemini protocol plugin can access filesby Gemini protocol and tell
the browser whatever file format it is, e.g. "text/gemini"; another
file can interpret the "text/gemini" file format regardless of the
protocol (so it can also work with local files, Spartan, etc).

And then, for some file formats and protocols might be useful for some
other kind of features, which might be separate from these plugins, e.g.
table of contents menu is useful with many file formats, including HTML,
Gemini, Scorpion, man pages, Wikipedia, etc. (For implementing Scorpion,
also would be useful to implement mixed character codes, including TRON
character code.)
