I think we can do better than a 15x15 text window

    WML/WAP got a bad rap I think, largely because of the way it was developed and imposed/introduced.

    But it was not insane, and it represented a clarity of thought that then went missing for decades. Several things that were in WML are quite reminiscent of interactions designed in web components today.

      Gopher today (and even more Gemini) can do almost anything Wap did but without being a dead platform.

        Have you read the WML 1.x spec? Let alone WML 2.x which never really happened. It had much more interesting scope than Gemini does.

        Gemini is not a good or sensible design. It's reactionary more than it is informed.
