3.4.4 Default Gopher+ data representation
When a Gopher server returns a directory listing to a client, the
Gopher+ items are tagged with either a "+" (denoting Gopher+ items)
or a "?" (denoting Gopher+ items which have a +ASK form associated
with them). A Gopher URL with a Gopher+ string consisting of only a
"+" refers to the default view (data representation) of the item
while a Gopher+ string containing only a "?" refer to an item with a
Gopher electronic form associated with it.
