       Ah, I see. So something like that would be "implementation-specific."
       That answers most of my question.

       This is why I love gopher. The other biggest reason is gopher returns
       us back to the value of a gopherspace being the content, not
       presentation. I abhor flash, javascript, embedded java, all sorts of
       non-free and closed systems for everyday access of basic information.
       
       Gopher has built-in menu and search primitives, which makes most of
       the glitz of web/http superfluous.
       
       Thank you for the answer. This was very helpful of you.
