This looks good to me Mark,

Do I understand you correctly that these are fixed fields, i.e. if sending
back G+ stuff and no search string then the client turns a double tab
URL e.g.

gopher://path.net:8001/11/About%09%09+Text/plain

into a single tab to send.

I also presume, since these are fixed fields, that a client can look at a
URL, and add a search string if its type 7.
For example the pointer to a wais search might be

gopher://path.net/77/.wais-sources/weather%09%09

and then the client, figures out it wants the weather here and passes it
on as

gopher://path.net/7/7/.wais-sources/weather%09san%20francisco%09

(also - I presume the trailing %09 are optional?)

Just to make sure we are all understanding this the same way.
