Why would this type of content be suitable for a gopher server?  If I
had XML, CSS, and RSS to serve up, it certainly wouldn't be done via
gopher.

At some point, if the gopher protocol continues to become more
complex, it will gradually approach the complexity of HTTP...at which
point, the two will be indistinguishable from one another.
