What's your reasoning for that? I mean, Gopher should be primary, but I
don't see an issue with, say, turning on the http access in pygopherd or
using some other proxy, or running sshd for remote administration, or such.

Except ICANN's .biz, last I looked. This may have changed now that
PacRoot is dead, though.

Except that whatever:// is actually for the client only, so it knows if
it needs to send a gopher selectorm http's multitude of headers,
negotiate an ssh connection, or fire up Unreal Tournament for a
deathmatch ;)
