For example, 9 takes care of everything.

I would want new item types when you want the behavior of the client to change, like a search index (item type 7) to be returned as a plain text file (item type 0). I remember seeing that in the source for Squid iirc or something. I guess upload would qualify as making the client do something special

And are file upload really Gopher? :)
