[gopher] Correct error handling

Hello list!
I'm a little bit confused about correct error display for NOT FOUND
resources (I guess that concerns other errors too).
It seems to me, that servers either return errors via gopher menus,
either as plain-text. Is that behavior correct?
gopher://floodgap.com/0/non-existant-path
gopher://floodgap.com/1/non-existant-path
Plain-text files couldn't be parsed as gopher menus and vice versa, so
in either case the resulting output is flawed. Yet the response for the
2 queries above is the same.
So what's the deal here?
