Are there efforts underway to standardize Gemini via IETF RFC?

If there is, it's flying way under the radar.

Gemini the protocol and gemtext the file format are currently in a single

specification. Furthermore, the specification is a bit blurry around the edges

as Stephane Bortzmeyer pointed out a while ago. I've read various opinions

regarding TOFU and certificate change/renewal.. Embarking on the route to RFC

could improve the specification without changing its simplicity.

What's the sentiment regarding a clearer specification?

If my experience in Gemini is anything to go by, it's not going to happen.

Solderpunk has basically disappeared, and his appointed assistant resigned

after a few months. I'm not saying the project is dead, but further

clarifications of the protocol and text format probably is.
