I like the way you're thinking here, I think the limitations you mentioned with gemini may stand... for me it's kind of like the limitations generally speaking with markdown. Doesn't leave much room for doing stuff like parsing the raw data when they aren't in a hierarchical structure with xpaths you can target and stuff like that, it just throws out so much baby with the bathwater that I'm ready to scream infanticide.

Any thoughts on fast experimental protocols like warp data transfer [1] or fast and secure protocol [2] ? I know they're not exactly the most open things or wellsupported in terms of what you're looking for but I've been really wondering when we're going to start seeing pressure to relieve network congestion using stuff like this. I get that part of the idea of QUIC is generally to shift the optimization of network traffic from kernel-space (for example fq-codel or CAKE) into user space, but does it offer wider improvements on bandwidth usage outside of that?
