Gemini throws out way way too much. Inline links and image support for one. It feels like someone wants to have everything exactly as it was in the 80s.

They claim to stop feature creep by not including any kind of optional data support like headers and the spec team will reject any feature additions.

While I would be happy to have HTML/CSS exactly as it is and replace JS with a minimal WASM implementation that lets the website bring whatever tools it wants rather than relying on 1 billion JS apis.

I'd be surprised if the most popular Gemini clients didn't support Markdown.

I would be. The Gemini devs would insist that nothing should be supported that doesn't work on an 80 char terminal with only the ascii charset.
