The thing is, when the web grew up, there was no not-web. Gemini occupies a swim lane, and if you want more, even a gemini page can link to a web page to do the heavy lifting of the modern web. So aside from making the bear dance, there's little interesting in forcing inline images. It will be not that the bear dances well, but that it dances at all, right? There is definitely a part of the Gemini community--from what I've seen--that is really excited to see the http 0.9 grow up that they missed the first time. But so far cooler heads are using their persuasion to knock most of that urge down. What will save gemini from turning into the modern web is that the modern web will be right there the whole time. I guess the perverse server and client could collude to deform the gemini protocol to look like http, but why? "=> http://www.mysite/recipe-with-inline-images/ Step by step recipes " in your .gmi file would do this so much better.
