So you've basically reinvented HTTP with slightly different syntax
and with all burden of rendering the content on the server side.
Although this may seem to solve some problems, you request that both
client and server become quite a complicated programs neglecting one
of the most important features of Gopher, i.e. simplicity.  Some of
these problems are already solved in Gopher+ in less obtrusive fashion
than your proposal.  Yet there are only few implementations that would
make use of it.

The whole idea of server transcoding data for client is ridiculous for me.
