One aspect of some of these protocols is that they're actually quite
independent of the medium or format used.

Gopher is a hierarchical system, usually presented as text, but that can
be e.g. represented in 3D (GopherVR? - wasn't that something kind of
like fsv but for Gopher, fsv being the 3D file browser of "It's a UNIX
system, I know this" fame).

A certain long-standing chat protocol still in active use created at the
University of Oulu is often handled as text in a terminal-like
interface, but has plenty of GUI clients, and has even had a comic strip
interface.


The web, like gopher, is about linking stuff all over the internet. But,
unlike gopher, it does not enforce the structure gopher has in menus.

Also, I'm not sure I see it as much of a problem to describe GUIs. As
far as you follow consistency principles and have similar UI elements,
you can introduce their names and then describe the UI in text in a
consistent way. I'd think of it more like building blocks than lossy. If
you call a button "button" in text, it's not lossy, it's referring to it
being a button, no matter what the styling employed by the platform or
by the user's choice of theming.
